world who stand for the KJV today. The book includes hundreds of testimonies
and biographies; sketches of churches, schools, and organizations which have
defended the KJV; a digest of reviews and condensations of major books and
articles written in defense of the Old Bible in the past 200 years; excerpts
from rare books on this subject which are no longer available; a comprehensive

My Plea for the Old Sword: The Unsurpassable Pre-eminency of the English
Authorized Version (KJV) of the Holy Bible by Ian R. K. Paisley.
"I believe the Authorised Version preserves the Word of God for me in
the English tongue and that it contains no errors."—Introduction.
"The foundation texts upon which any translation rests are all-important.
If the foundation is false the translation will be false. If the foundation
is corrupt the translation will be corrupt. If the foundation is erroneous
the translation will be erroneous. The texts upon which the modern English
perversions of the Holy Scripture are founded are neither reliable nor accurate.
The foundation of the English Authorised Version (KJV) of the Holy Bible
is unsurpassably pre-eminent in the underlying texts upon which it rests."—Chapt. 1.

Text (Textus Receptus). The author is an independent Baptist pastor who is
on the faculty of Ambassador Baptist College and serves as Assistant to the
President. "This book is an attempt to encourage debate among Fundamentalists

alienate them from each other over the textual debate."—Cover.
