Summary: Interesting read
Comment: This is one of the more interesting books on bible versions as the author has a view and expresses it well. The author is a Majority Text advocate. I don't accept any of his conclusions however regarding the superiority of the Majority Text over the now standard UBS editions, or his liking for the NKJV over and above what I consider better bibles like the NASB. So in that sense I disagree with the majority of stuff in the book. But the book is an interesting read, as I said.
Rating: 5
Summary: Highly recommended
Comment: Mr. Zeolla is to be commended for a thoughtful, thorough, yet easily read summary of bible translations. He states his preferences clearly and backs them up with sound reasoning. It's important to remember that most Bibles of any quality will agree 98% of the time; it's always that last 2% that gets us :). I agree with the author that for serious Bible study, one should consult several Bible translations, preferably of different types.
One comment about another review here criticizing the NKJV as a "works for salvation" bible - I hardly think that's fair, especially as two of the leading Reformed study bibles (Reformation, Macarthur) use the NKJV.

Summary: A Very Good, Balanced Approach
Comment: Gary Zeolla's latest work on Bible Translations provides a good, balanced approach to a very volatile subject. He takes a position that will draw the ire of the KJV-only crowd, as he prefers the Majority Text and the various updates of the King James Version, while not discarding the KJV. He will displease the Modern Critical Text folks, as he stands squarely for the Majority Text,AND the Textus Receptus. He also discusses lesser known translations, such as The Modern King James Version, the Literal Version of the Bible, and the World English Bible. For those Christians who have switched from the KJV to the NKJV, they will rest assured that their version of choice is indeed a viable one. The chapters are well laid out and readily understood. He explains thoroughly the KJV-only position and refutes it in a non-abrasive manner. Of the many works that have been published over the last five years, this is one of the most logical and accurate. I recommend it highly, as it will ease any doubts of those who use the King James derivatives that they have somehow "deserted ship" of the King James Version.
