Tool Talk
Welcome to Tool Talk from Exegetical Tools, where we discuss sound practices and solid resources for students of the Scriptures. Host Travis Montgomery sits down (or rings up) pastors, scholars, and students to ask them about tools they're using to study the Bible, exegetical and theological issues they're currently engaging, and Scriptures that are ministering to their hearts.For more great resources, check out exegeticaltools.com or follow ET on social media (@exegeticaltools).

Episode 15
Have you ever been a part of a church or met a believer who believed the "Authorized" version was the only proper English Bible? Maybe you know all the text-critical issues, but do you know how to explain the importance of a vernacular Bible to people in a patient, loving, pastoral way? Mark Ward, a Logos Pro at Faithlife has laid out a stellar, easy-to-read explanation of KJV-onlyism in his new book, "Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible" (Lexham Press, releasing 1/24/18). In this episode, Travis and Mark talk about most believers' tendency toward prizing one version and the virtues of using multiple translations, even in preaching. Check out more resources at exegeticaltools.com and pick up "Authorized," which D.A. Carson calls, "Highly Recommended" (which ought to be authorization enough!).
