I am not that familiar with the other two speakers (though I have possibly read some material by Jasmin).

Pastor D.A. Waite runs "The Bible For Today" and is chairman of "The Dean Burgon Society". Pastor Waite has several degrees: B.A. in classical Greek and Latin from the University of Michigan in 1948, a Th.M. in New Testament Greek Literature and Exegesis from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1952, an M.A. in Speech from Southern Methodist University in 1953, a Th.D. in Bible Exposition from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1955, and a Ph.D. in Speech from Purdue University in 1961.

Dean John William Burgon was the defender of the TR over the (then) new Wescott & Hort modern greek text. He was W&H's arch-rival. He was the real deal: A real scholar and text critic who defended the KJV and the Traditional Greek Text (that's the name of one of his books). He also took the RV team to task over their translation of their faulty greek text. This was the Revised Version. He wrote a tremendous refutation of the RV in his "Revision Revised". While no one (really) uses the RV today, many many many of the childish (he called them "boyish") translations offered in today's NASB are identical to the ones Burgon masterfully critiqued in the RV.

D.A. Waite has kept this and all of Burgon's other books marvelously preserved in splendid hardback volumes. D.A. Waite and "Bible for Today" has kept many many old titles defending the A.V. in print. If it weren't for D.A.Waite, a library of KJV defense materal would have left the planet.
