The Postscript Show

In this episode, we continue with part two of our three-part series on the King James Bible. Dr. Alan Shelby, Dean of the Living Faith Bible Institute, helps us to understand the history behind the King James Bible. In part two, we address whether or not God continued to protect his words even within the translation process, what the translation process was like, and why we can be confident that God has given us his very words today.

What is The Postscript Show?

The Postscript is a podcast and YouTube series that invites believers into in-depth theological and ministry conversations with pastors, Bible scholars, missionaries, and professors from the Living Faith Bible Institute.




Living Faith Bible Institute (LFBI) serves as an advanced equipping arm of like-minded churches whose mission is to mold every member into the image of Christ and mobilize them to minister the Word of God to the world. To this end, LFBI utilizes experienced pastoral leaders to equip men and women of the church to function as shepherds of God’s people through a structured curriculum that is centered on the Word of God. Our goal is to offer, at a reasonable cost, a practical study that develops biblical leadership in an environment conducive to learning to live God’s Word.
