Holy Bible: King James Version:
Standard Text Edition by Baker
Publishing Group
Filled Order As Expected
The King James Version of 1611 has been the most widely known and
quoted version of the Bible for over three centuries, and has shaped both
Western culture and the English language. The Standard Text Bible offers
the text of the King James Version in an exceptionally clear and readable
type. The size of the Bible makes it a handy buy for someone who wants
an easily readable type, but not a Bible that is too heavy or bulky to carry.
This Bible also has a glossary of 14 pages which explains some of the
lesser known words of 17th Century English, and a Bible reading guide.
Bound as a hardback with an attractive jacket, the economical price of this
Bible represents exceptional value.
Personal Review: Holy Bible: King James Version: Standard
Text Edition by Baker Publishing Group

A Zondervan Corp sales person with an overstock of new NIV Bibles to sell
may tell you, "Do not listen to the 'KJV-Only!' crowd." He may tell you that
King James I of Great Britain was "a flaming, red-haired homosexual Scot
who nearly every weekend buggered the members of his own Privy
Council."
Okay, maybe that's true. But should we therefore suspect that a flaming
"King James Version Only" man, such as the Rev. Marion "Pat" Robertson,
is homosexual as well? I think not! I cannot believe that Pat Robertson is a
closeted gay just because he strongly prefers the so-called "Sodomy-
tolerant" KJV. That Pat suffers from a deep homosexual panic about the
very possibility of closeted gayness? Okay, sure. But can you blame him?
How would you like to have spent your puberty and Saturday nights in the
dorms and closets of an all-boys military school in Tennessee if you were a
cute teenaged, sexually ambiguous, youth named "Marion"? Truly, if the
atheists and homosexuals of this world knew one tenth of what the bullies
at that military school put him through, such as the nickname, "Minnie
Mouse," then I think they'd better understand Pat Robertson's passion to
"ride with the king" - with King James, that is!
But let me add this, in Pat's defense: if King James and Pat Robertson
should ever meet in Heaven, it will not be Marion "Pat" Robertson who is
the first one to say, "Tickle me Elmo!" I know Pat well enough to vouch that
he would never ask another man to tickle his elmo; or another woman, for
that matter. If anyone tickles Pat Robertson's elmo, it will be Pat himself.
Besides, King James did not personally translate the "King James"
Version. As the King of England, James merely put up the cash for the fifty
British scholars who did the actual work - most of whom, granted, were
gayer than Truman Capote on a spring day in Amsterdam. That interesting
historical fact may explain why the allegedly "homo-tolerant" Authorised
Version goes easy on the biblical heroes, David and Jonathan, and on the
prophet Daniel, and the apostle John; but it can shed no light on the
Marion Pat Robertson mystery, nor will the behavior of those fifty dissolute
KJV translators ever get Pat to change his position. For one thing, they're
dead. Seriously, in these "end times," when Jesus could be returning at
any minute, it would be a mistake for English readers to reject the
Authorised Version of the Bible simply on whatever nagging doubts they
may have concerning the Jacobean nature of Rev. Pat Robertson's
concealed sexual proclivities.
