Through a Glass Darkly contrasts the King James Version of the Bible with earlier Reformation era translations such as the Bishops and Geneva and modern versions such as the ESV and NIV. Almost 1,200 verses are examined, not to contend that the KJV is always right or always the best, but to explain the possible rationale of its translators in cases where it reads differently. For the Old Testament, the commentaries of classical Jewish exegetes, such as Kimchi, Abarbanal and Ibn Ezra, are considered. For the New Testament, traditional Christian commentaries such as Poole, Ellicott and Jamieson-Fausset-Brown are reviewed. In both cases, we see that the KJV translators made informed decisions, departing from earlier versions more often than is commonly appreciated and varying from modern versions for reasons that are, if not always incontrovertibly correct, well-founded and reasonable.
