In my opinion these are the very best resources on the KJV Only Debate. These articles and links do much to debunk the KJV Only position. However, since I want this site to aid all inquirers, I have also compiled some resources representing the best pro KJV Only resources.

• Doug Kutilek on the origins of KJV-onlyism -- very informative and enlightening survey of the true history of KJV-onlyism.
• Pre-1881 conservative defense of critical text readings (article compiled by Michael Marlowe) -- Conservative Plymouth Brethren/Presbyterian scholar Samuel P. Tregelles discusses 1 John 5:7, 1 Tim. 3:16, Acts 20:28, Jn 1:18, 1 Pet. 3:15.
• "Jesus is Not KJV-Only" by Brian Tegart -- simple, yet convincing, proof that Jesus often quoted from and read a Bible that was not verbally equivalent to the KJV's OT text.
• "Inspiration, Preservation, and New Testament Textual Criticism" by Dan Wallace (of Dallas Theological Seminary) -- provides a challenging critique of TR only and Majority Text only views.

Best Books on the Issue

1. One Bible Only?: Examining the Claims for the King James Bible edited by Roy Beacham and Kevin Bauder of Central Baptist Seminary in Plymouth, MN -- the best book on the issue (written by professors of Central Baptist Seminary of Plymouth, MN [an independent fundamental Baptist school similar to Master's Seminary in many respects] and published by Kregel), its authors come from within fundamentalism and thus they understand the issue better than many evangelicals.
2. The King James Version Debate: A Plea for Realism by D.A. Carson -- a short, succinct work which includes an appendix critiquing Wilbur Pickering's (a Majority Text advocate) book, The Identity of the New Testament Text.
3. The King James Only Controversy: Can You Trust the Modern Translations? by James White -- one of the first evangelical works to take on the issue head on, the issues White addresses have not been adequately dealt with from the other side. (Click here to order book directly from James White's ministry -- Alpha & Omega Ministries).
4. God's Word Preserved: A Defense of Historic Separatist Definitions and Beliefs by Michael Sproul -- a newer work, which spends time detailing the historic fundamentalist position on this issue.

Multimedia / Other

• PowerPoint presentation on the KJVO controversy by James White, author of The King James Only Controversy (see above) -- great presentation of pertinent facts in an easy to understand format.
• A series of posts on the topic from a former KJV Onlyist: Fred Butler. -- excellent and very informative.
• Plain introduction to the Criticism of the NTby F.H.A. Scrivener -- ONLINE BOOK!! This is an older book which introduces NT Textual Criticism. It would be a reference and resource, but is not necessarily the best book to get on the issue.
