Pick up a King James Bible, and it's easy to spot words we don't use anymore--from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ebeeves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ebolled\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eharts \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ehosen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. But modern readers face the greater danger of \"false friends\"--words we think we know but don't.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe KJV is filled with words that, because of language changes over four centuries, we don't realize we're misunderstanding. In this enlightening and entertaining book, Mark Ward considers 38 common words from the KJV that you don't know you don't know; words like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003estudy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003esincere\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eoffend\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003epeculiar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003emansion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Far from critiquing the King James Bible, Ward's intention is to make us better readers of it. He helps you spot these false friends, explains how words change, and gives you the tools to discover and define hidden KJV archaisms on your own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether you grew up on the King James Version or use it as your primary Bible today, Ward's book can help you read and study the KJV with confidence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47976011923630,"sku":"9781540905949","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/6737\/2718\/files\/810NrgESO7L._SY522.jpg?v=1781196262","url":"https:\/\/shop.mbts.edu\/products\/what-saith-the-lord-kjv-words-were-getting-wrong-and-how-to-get-them-right","provider":"Sword \u0026 Trowel Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
