“…there is one kind of review that I have especially wished for, a review that is both 1) academic and 2) critical. One such review has indeed been published, and the author, Dr. Jeffrey Riddle, was kind enough to share it with me. I wish to respond to Riddle’s review” - Mark Ward

“I recently read a promoter of exclusive use of the King James Version who argued that if anyone has trouble understanding KJV English, they can just go to Matthew Henry’s commentary for all the explanations they need. I was skeptical. I still am.” - Mark Ward

“I have now read Hembd’s long critique of the NKJV—and all of TBS’ other critiques of the NKJV” (detailed analysis follows) - Mark Ward

“I also know that evil dwells within me, as Romans shows, and that good dwells even among my enemies. God causes his common grace to fall on the unjust. And I find this to be such helpful knowledge. It takes from my shoulders the pressures of an impossible worldview.” - Mark Ward

“The UK’s Trinitarian Bible Society is one of the most serious and sober KJV-Only organizations active today…. Recently, TBS published an article that was actually written shortly before the release of my book” - Mark Ward

Mark Ward: I refuse to give kids Bible quotations they can’t understand.

“My recent post charging KJV defenders with sin because they 1) repeated the claim that the NKJV includes critical text readings and yet 2) never produced any evidence for that claim—that post has been answered by someone holding a minority viewpoint.” - Mark Ward

“…the KJV-Only movement as a whole, and many individuals within it, are not telling the truth, and the leaders at least should know better…. repeatedly I have seen KJV-Only leaders say that 1) all the modern versions use a different textual basis than the KJV.

“…in a debate like this one, the objections never really end. And I think there are a few more that merit attention.” - Mark Ward

“I had a theory: these were regenerated but misguided people I was dealing with, and the bold and frankly nasty claims they were making on their signs about our alleged apostasy were things they would not be able to say if they sat across a table from me.” - Mark Ward
