About the Blog
Hysteria, misinformation, rancor and hype fill the King James Version debate. This blog aims to confront the King James controversy head on, and evaluate the claims of KJV-onlyism from a Biblical perspective.
The authors of this blog are former proponents of KJV-onlyism who have journeyed out of that movement. Having once held those convictions, they understand the arguments from the inside — and they bring that experience to bear in charitable, evidence-based discussion.
Contributors include Bob Hayton (founder), Erik DiVietro, Jason Harris, Will Dudding, Damien Garofalo, and Phil Dearmore. Together they examine topics spanning textual criticism, manuscript evidence, the history of the King James Bible, and modern translations.
Honest debate is welcome here. The site reserves the right to moderate comments to ensure discussion remains respectful and Christ-honoring. For the full guidelines, see The Rules of the Debate.

The King James Only debate is one that has generated far more heat than light over the years, with passionate advocates on both sides often talking past one another. This blog exists to cut through the noise and offer a thoughtful, biblical examination of the claims made by KJV-onlyism. The contributors here understand the position from the inside, having once held those convictions themselves. That background allows for a tone that is both firm and charitable, engaging with textual criticism, translation philosophy, and church history without resorting to the rancor that so often dominates these discussions. The goal is not merely to win arguments but to help readers think more carefully about how we approach the Scriptures.
