"One Principal Good One: The King James
Bible" from Christian Faith Publishing authors Jonathan Wheatley and Dave Reese presents students of the Bible with a
helpful resource for achieving a deeper understanding of a key
translation.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Jan. 30,
2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "One Principal Good One:
The King James Bible": a useful
guide to furthering one's study of scripture. "One Principal Good
One: The King James Bible" is the
creation of published authors Jonathan
Wheatley and Dave Reese.
Jonathan Wheatley lives in
Maryville, Tennessee, with his
wife, Kim. He is a husband, father, and grandfather. He was born in
England and emigrated to the US
when he was a teenager. He came to know the Lord shortly after
coming to the US and surrendered to the ministry in his early
twenties. Wheatley received his bachelor's and master's degrees
from Open Bible College in Millbrook,
Alabama; his Bachelor of Arts from Maryville College, Maryville, Tennessee; and his Doctor of
Theology from Open Bible College International.
Dave Reese studied at
Memphis Academy of Arts and is a
graduate of Temple Baptist Seminary (M.RE) and Trinity Baptist
Seminary (Th.D.). A pastor of Baptist churches for over thirty
years, he is founder and president of Ends of the Earth Mission
(EOTEM). EOTEM has two resident Bible colleges in the Philippines, one missionary training
centre in China, and concentrates
on evangelism in closed countries and remote areas. Reese is also a
chalk artist and is married to Mary Sue
Reese. Together, they are the parents of six children.
Wheatley and Reese share, "this book speaks to the majesty of
the King James Bible, in both its
literary contribution to the English language and how it
distinguishes itself from the previous English translations and
those that have been attempted since. The authors address the
doctrines of Inspiration and Preservation; and that by faith,
believe that only the King James
Bible is worthy of being called the inspired/preserved word
of God in the English language. The authors cover the Process of
Bible translation by committee and the rules by which they were
provided as guidance by the king at the Hampton Court conference. Specifically, the
doctrinal impact of the Third Rule whereby the translators were to
keep the old Ecclesiastical words such as 'Church' not to be
translated as 'Congregation.' Other words to be used were 'Charity'
in addition to 'Love'; 'Baptisms,' as well as 'Washings'; and the
distinction between 'Covenant' and 'Testament' is clearly seen in
the context where the words are used.
"In addition to the doctrinal import, there is considerable
attention given to the printing technology of the fourteenth to
sixteenth centuries and a dissertation on the artwork of the first
edition, printed in 1611. The practical results of preaching the
King James Bible in places like
the Philippines and other foreign
lands are presented with plentiful illustrations and examples.
Lastly, the authors have included the Epistle Dedicatory and
Translators to the Reader that were provided in earlier editions of
the King James Bible, but sadly,
seldom printed in the newer editions."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Jonathan Wheatley and Dave Reese's new book can be used for private or
group education practices.
Wheatley and Reese share in hopes of enriching the possible
resources available to both students and educators as they seek to
understand and compare the various interpretations of God's
word.
