While there is much useful information in this book I give it only a 3 because there is also much misinformation as well. It would take more time that I wish to use to go into all of the particulars but two follow. Like most "Critical Text" advocates I have read, Brother Ryken seems to go out of his way to make unnecessary and negative remarks about the King James Version and those who defend it. Sometimes that criticism is accurate. Particularly those who would attempt to claim inspiration for a translation. Not everyone who prefers the KJV would take that position. While this hillbilly from Kentucky makes no claim to "scholarship" and readily acknowledges there are not a few difficulties with the KJV. Until a translation is produced that retains the degree of faithfulness of the KJV in dealing with pronouns I will continue to keep and use my KJV. Another area of concern, over twenty-five years ago I read a book by John Skilton (no advocate of the KJV) in which he argued for the retention of what he called "honorifics." I wish I could remember in which of his five volumes he dealt with this particular matter but alas my memory is not what it used to be! If anyone is interested in more particulars I would be happy to send, by email, a copy of a short paper I wrote in review of Brother Ryken's book.- Ronnie Fullor Dail
