Home Erasmus and the Road to the King James Bible Series 1-25
Erasmus and the Road to the King James Bible is a 25-part series tracing the providential preservation of God’s Word. From Erasmus’s 1516 Novum Instrumentum omne through Stephanus, Beza, and the Reformation, to the Authorized Version of 1611, this series demonstrates how the Textus Receptus became the foundation of the King James Bible. More than manuscript counts, it examines Erasmus’s prefaces, annotations, and corrections, revealing how God used imperfect men to preserve a perfect text. It answers Catholic reliance on the Vulgate and modern versions built on Alexandrian manuscripts, showing the fruit of the TR line: Reformation, revival, and missions. With insights drawn even from studies at Yale, this unique defense of the King James Bible equips believers with history, doctrine, and providence.
