Written by an Anglican scholar in the form of two letters addressed
to the bishop of London, this is an extremely detailed study of the change
in the
last petition
of the "Lord's Prayer" adopted in the Revised
Version. Cook's work is just as relevant today as the day it was written since
most modern versions of the Bible also change the phrase "deliver
us from evil" (Mat. 6:13) as it appears in the Authorized Version.

A Defense of the Reading 'God Was Manifest in the Flesh' in
1 Timothy 3:16
By Ebenezer Henderson and Moses Stuart
1832
80 pages
$10.00
Long before Dean Burgon (1813-1888) defended the genuineness of the reading "God
Was Manifest in the Flesh" in
1 Timothy 3:16, as it appears in the Authorized Version, these two scholars
had already done so in the pages of the Congregational magazine The Biblical
Repository. Yet, all critical Greek texts and most modern versions of the
Bible still reject the genuineness of this reading in 1 Timothy 3:16.
