KJV in Vietnam
I’m not much of a facebook person, but recently a young Vietnamese man sent a note via fb. This is his note:”Hi teacher Paul, I has lived and taught in Hanoi for 1 year. And one study now are reading the KJV. Does anyone have your book in Hanoi.”
He refers to English for Bible Readers, and we are trying to get him a copy. Well, this is a great blessing! Imagine, in Hanoi, the capitol of Vietnamese Communism, not only is there a Bible study, they are conducting a King James Bible study! (Many of the younger Vietnamese speak some level of English.)
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Cor. 15:58).
Amen.
Pastor John Asquith, New York, USA: We live in a time when it seems everyone is trying their hand at writing about the King James Bible. Very few of these books and articles have anything new to offer. My surprise was great when I was given a copy of Paul Scott’s excellent work, English For Bible Readers.
Here was a book that filled a great void in explaining the vocabulary and the rules (grammar) for the English of the King James Bible. I have long rued the absence of such a book and have seen much mischief done by those ignorant of the rules for the King’s English. This book was intended for Vietnamese Christians reading the King James Bible, but in providing for their need, Brother Scott has provided for his own nation’s need. To God be the glory.
I can only hope that the reader will find the same satisfaction in reading this work. I have spent thirty years studying the King James Bible, but I felt like a boy in short pants as I turned the pages of this book: I learned something from almost every page. Every Christian English program in every King James-believing school should have this book for a textbook.

“I consumed English for Bible Readers in short order and am determined to get it into the hands of other men. – Pastor Stephen Charette, Massachusetts, USA
Before approaching English for Bible Readers, I had no idea about the deep and wonderful vocabulary as well as the style of the King James Bible. I have seen many people using the other versions, which seem easier to read and understand. However, through this book, I realized that English for Bible Readers is indeed an accurate and wonderful aid in exploring the Bible. I am amazed at the way the King James Bible expresses God’s Word, and thanks to Teacher Paul Scott’s work, I have explored many interesting revelations that may only exist in the King James Bible.
As you read through English for Bible Readers, you will find this book a very helpful tool to understand more clearly about the powerful Word of God. Also, you can approach a larger knowledge of history, grammar etc, and above all, you can find many answers to your very own needs in this book.
It was a great pleasure for me to be the translator of English for Bible Readers-Vietnamese version. As a translator, and also as a young Vietnamese reader, I have found my inspiration from this source. My prayer is that all readers, especially the readers in Vietnam, will enjoy this book. An amazing point of view is waiting for you to explore and meditate.
