My foreword on "The Translators to the Readers"

I have done my best to preserve the document in it's original form, including the archaic spellings, italicized text and case. Keep in mind that translators worked using different grammar rules.

The paragraphs are quite lengthy by todays standards; page 7 for example has only one paragraph. The prevailing emphasis and the guiding paradigm throughout is preserving the historical sense of the preface to the greatest book ever made available to mankind, the Authorized Version of 1611.

I am typing this document in, so typographical errors are possible, but the goal is 100% historical accuracy, faithful to the original. If you see an error, drop me an email at the address in the footer. I want to preserve this historical document the way it appeared in the Authorized Version of 1611. Thanks.

The following pages are the preface to the AV 1611 as written by the translators themselves. It was kept intact, printed in all King James Bibles until about 100 years ago. It should never have been removed. Some of the comments of Bible Critics (or rather the misinformation that they spread) are addressed in this message to the reader. It has great value as an historical document.

"The Translators to the Readers" is rather lengthy but well worth the read, especially if you are a Bible Believer. The word "calumniate" is somewhat rarely used, but it's meaning is critical to understand the impact of this document; it means slander of the most vicious nature.

In the case of the King James translators, their denigrators had only one goal, which was to stop their work before the Bible, i.e. the words of God were available to all who wanted to read them. Now what kind of Spirit would want to do that?
