[This selection comes from the Conclusion.] It is indeed sad that the American Bible Society has come out with this Contemporary English Version (CEV). From every possible point of view, it is a defective piece of work. Its damage in the years and decades to come will be incalculable. It is only hoped that its days may be few, and its readers still fewer! As for me and my house, we will continue to honor the King James Bible with all of its important and theologically correct theological terminology. It is a Bible in which we can place our confidence. It has superior Hebrew and Greek TEXTS. It has superior TRANSLATORS. It has superior TECHNIQUE of translation. It has superior THEOLOGY. For further proofs of this four-fold superiority, why not order a copy of our book, Defending the King James Bible.
