"Edward F. Hills in his work The King James Version Defended represents a sober and compelling argument for the 'old tradition.' As a well trained classicist and an internationally recognized New Testament text critic, he analyses the problems of both modern language translations and current New Testament text criticism methodology. With the sometimes widespread and uncritical acceptance of such translations as the New International Version by pastors as well as laymen, this defense of the historic, English Protestant Bible should be read by all who share an interest in these areas" (back cover).
