Smile Ruckus about Ruckman what a Ruck

I doubled checked my library of Ruckman literature. And I must confess, I was wrong in my estimation (based solely on memory). I have only seven actual works from him. I shall list them just so you may all count with me.

1. The Errors in the King James Bible (511 pp.)
2. Biblical Scholarship (560 pp.)
3. Manuscript Evidence (244 pp.)
4. How To Teach The “Original” Greek (134 pp.)
5. King James Onlyism Verses Scholarship Onlyism (94 pp.)
6. A Survey of the Authorized Version (29 pp.)
7. Differences in the King James Version Editions (25 pp.)


I listed the page numbers so that you could see not only how many pages each work was but to gain a total of how many pages in all (1597). Apart from the sermons I have watched (chalk board and all), and the BBB’s that I was able to at least check (I was only able to read a couple), add to all this 1597 pages of information and I can say that I have learned much as to Ruckmans views on the Bible Version Debate. I do not want to claim to be an expert for two very simple reasons, (1) I have not read everything he has written let alone every thing written concerning the Bible Version Debate; (2) He is a complex man who is far from a simpleton. If you would like to know what is in them please ask me of such and I will post some excerpts in regards to this debate.

This is the book untainted by any error; but is pure, unalloyed, perfect truth. Why? Because God wrote it. Ah! charge God with error if you please; tell him that his book is not what it ought to be. I have heard men, with prudish and mock-modesty, who would like to alter the Bible; and (I almost blush to say it) I have heard ministers alter God's Bible, because they were afraid of it... Pity they were not born when God lived far—far back that they might have taught God how to write.” Charles Haddon Spurgeon (Spurgeon's Sermons Volume 1: Sermon II p. 31)

- “If, therefore, any do complain that I have sometimes hit my opponents rather hard, I take leave to point out that 'to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the sun' : 'a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embracing' : a time for speaking smoothly, and a time for speaking sharply. And that when the words of Inspiration are seriously imperilled, as now they are, it is scarcely possible for one who is determined effectually to preserve the Deposit in its integrity, to hit either too straight or too hard.” Dean John William Burgon (The Revision Revised. pp. vii-viii)
