| This category is for websites that directly address the issue of Bible versions; that discuss whether or not the King James Version should be used to the exclusion of other translations. Sites "pro" and "con" are appropriate for this category. Sites with information on textual criticism, various Greek and Hebrew texts, historical figures like Erasmus, Beza, Westcott, Hort, and others, are also appropriate provided that the website addresses the issue of English Bible versions in general and specifically the KJV. |
This category is for sites that deal with the study of the text of the Bible--whether in the original manuscripts, or the copies, or early translations. It is not for sites discussing the _meaning_ of the text: only for determining _what_ the text was. Obviously, an accurate and reliable text is of great interest to all who wish to translate it, or study its meaning: hence the primary place of this field in Biblical studies.This is sometimes called "Textual Criticism" or "Lower Criticism."

Should the King James Version of the Bible be regarded as authoritative to the exclusion of other English translations? Are all Bible versions equally the word of God?
This category is for websites and pages that focus on any aspect of study aimed at determining the history of the text of the New Testament -- the original manuscripts and copies.
