The Answer Book
by Samuel C. Gipp, Th.D.
Dr. Samuel C. Gipp, author of
An Understandable
History of the Bible, answers 62 common questions about the King James
Bible.
The reason for this book is two-fold. First, it was
written to answer the raft of questions used by critics of the King
James Bible to attack and destroy the faith of anyone who really
BELIEVES that the Bible is infallible. The style is such that its
arguments can be understood and advanced by one who has NOT had the
benefit (or curse) of a Bible college education. This brings us to
the second reason for its existence. Some time ago a leader of a
large fundamental movement made the statement, "What really fires me
is ... these guys with a High School education debating textual
criticism." That is the second purpose of this book. For years those
faithful folk who have not been to college have been bullied around
for their lack of formal education by an arm load of D.D.'s who seek
to keep them "in the dark." Many of these people have done more
serious study of the Bible issue in the privacy of their homes than
the honorarily doctored critics have in college classrooms. Yet the
common man is often intimidated by the "trick" questions asked by
his "educated" foe. The critic feels invincible in his armor of
education. This book is written so that the ordinary Christian will
be properly equipped to defend him or herself from the fiery darts
of their pompous foes. In fact, they may even punch a few holes in
their armor.

Author's Note
All reference to "the Bible," "the Holy Bible," "God's Perfect Bible,"
"Holy Scripture," etc, are references to the Authorized Version of 1611,
also known as the King James Bible, unless otherwise defined by the
immediate context of a passage.
Also: Although each question is handled individually, some of the later
questions build on the answer of a previous question. For that reason it
is advisable to read this book from start to finish rather than by
skipping around to the questions that most interest you.
Thank you,
Dr. Samuel C. Gipp
