Our Authorized Bible Vindicated
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Our Authorized Bible Vindicated is an obscure book by Seventh-Day Adventist scholar Dr. Benjamin G. Wilkinson advocating the King James Only position, published in 1930.
The copyright of the text has expired, so it is available online.
This book is important today because it is the origin of most of the King James Only story, including the vilification of Westcott and Hort, the vilification of Origen, the two textual streams (the 'pure' Antioch text, the 'bad' Alexandrian text), the superiority of the Textus Receptus, etc. While King James Only advocacy existed before this book, the central mythology of the movement was introduced by this book.
