    Baxter, Daniel J. Isn't the KJV Perfect? Lulu, 2012. 229 pages www.lulu.com

    The author of this book is a former KJV-only advocate. On the back cover, he stated:
    "I had been taught that the King James Version was the only true Bible and that all other translations were inspired by Satan." He says that he was raised in a KJV-only church, and that his parents are still KJV-only.
    In later years, he indicates that he was influenced by Fred Butler, a former KJV-only advocate.

    Daniel Baxter wrote: "It is my belief that the King James Only movement provides a stumbling block to new Christians as well as those that are not Christian" (p. 25).

    Baxter asserted: "Misinformation is extremely common with those involved in KJV-Onlyism" (p. 91).

    Baxter wrote: "KJVOnlyism is full of self-contradiction and double standards" (p. 107).

    IMO it approaches human perfection to a goodly degree in faithfulness to the Traditional Text.

    but it no longer communicates well to the speaker of standard English of the 21st century
    with a dictionary/lexicon being needed.
