All these books and pamphlets defend the KJV or Textus Receptus without teaching they are inspired or perfect. When modern translations or critical texts are opposed in these books, it is usually done so with a conciliatory tone. In some cases the authors are not defending the Textus Receptus or the Byzantine manuscripts as a whole, but rather an aspect overlooked or ignored by most who uphold critical texts. We do not agree with every statement, and we would word some things differently. But overall we recommend them:
-
The Bible a Sure Foundation, no author listed. Trinitarian Bible Society (No. 59), no date (circa late 1970's)
-
The Identity of the New Testament Text by Wilbur Pickering. Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1977
-
The Power and the Glory, no author listed. Trinitarian Bible Society
-
The King James Version of the Bible by Steven Houck. Peace Protestant Reformed Church, 1990
-
The Lord Gave the Word by Malcolm Watts. Trinitarian Bible Society
-
The Byzantine text-type and New Testament Textual Criticism by Harry Sturz. Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1984
-
The Ancient Text of the New Testament by Jacob Van Bruggen. Premier Publishing, 2002
-

-
Which Version? Authorized or Revised? by Philip Mauro, 1924
- Translation or Paraphrase by Francis Steele. Bible Memory Association International, 1960
We hope to add more books to the list in the future, and possibly a brief review of each.
The King James Version Defended by Dr. Edward F. Hills is also a good one!
