Episode 220: King James I of England, the Authorized Version of the Bible & the Translation Process
Since the inception of The Postscript, we have been meeting with Pastor Greg Axe, Church History instructor at the Living Faith Bible Institute, to discuss just that, the history of the church and God's work in the world through his people.
The last few times we met, we chatted about Europe during the Reformation and then the Counter-Reformation. We've discussed quite a cast of characters over the last few episodes: Henry the Eighth, Edward the Sixth, Bloody Mary, Queen Elizabeth, but today we want to discuss King James, King of England and Scotland at the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century.
King James was undoubtedly a flawed man. His legacy as king is marked by peace, unity and general prosperity, as well as the sins of an unrighteous man. Even greater than these strengths and also his weaknesses, was God's determination to accomplish an incomprehensible work, a translation of the Bible that would ultimately change the whole world.

Episode 104: A Personal Conversation About the King James Bible & the 16 Bit Controversy
In this episode of the Postscript, we sit down with Van Sneed of the Ps+ and discuss how he came to believe that the Authorized Version is God’s preserved word in English. He shares how the King James is perceived culturally and how the KJV has a direct impact on doctrine.
Episode 102: The Implications of Modern Bible Translations & the King James Bible
In this episode, we conclude our three-part series on the King James Bible with Dr. Alan Shelby, Dean of the Living Faith Bible Institute. We look at the modern translations’ damage to doctrine compared against the KJV Bible’s teachings on two basics of the Christian faith - faith itself & the believer’s spiritual identity. Can someone who uses a modern translation have certainty regarding the specificity of what they believe?
Episode 101: History of Translation, Honey Travels & the King James Bible
In this episode we continue with part two of our three part series on the King James Bible. Dr. Alan Shelby, Dean of the Living Faith Bible Institute, helps us to understand the history behind the King James Bible. In part two we address whether or not God continued to protect his words even within the translation process, what was the translation process like, why can we be confident that God has given us his very words today?
+28: The KJV Part 1: The Doctrine of Preservation
In this episode of the Ps+ we look at what the Bible says about God preserving his Word, as well as discuss a faith-based view of scripture.
Episode 100: Inspiration, Preservation & the King James Bible
In this episode, we begin a three-part series on why the King James is God’s preserved word. Dr. Alan Shelby, Dean of Living Faith Bible Institute, discusses with us the doctrine of inspiration and preservation in order to better understand God’s character and purposes as it concerns scripture. In part 1 of our series, we address when inspiration occurred, why scripture goes beyond the original autographs, the problems with textual criticism, why we can trust God oversaw the process of transcription and translation, and much more.
Episode 18: Neo-Evangelicalism, Discovering Discipleship & "Do I Have a Bible?"
In Episode 18 we have the privilege of interviewing Pastor Mark Trotter of One Baptist Church in Douglasville, GA and Instructor in Living Faith Bible Institute. In this episode he shares his testimony of salvation, how God brought him to understand a biblical philosophy of discipleship as well as the story of how he learned he could be confident in the Bible he carries. An encouraging testimony of a life of ministry.
