Title: Inaccurate and long winded
Review: Interesting and easy to read but the inaccuracies leave me questioning the rest of the book. Some of the places where his scholarship is lacking are when he states that Daniel "and his friends" were thrown into the lions den. (Daniel was alone) He give the duration of the Babylonian exile as fifty years and not seventy.He also allows personal bias to show through when he refers to the name "Jehovah" as a "term". He may not like or use the name, but it is a name and not a "term".I bought the book because it was supposed to be about the King James Translation and how the language has changed based on that translation. There are a lot of words in this book but not many of them about the effects of the translation on our language.
Is the review positive or negative?
