Gail Riplinger (born 1947) is an American author and speaker well known for her support of the King-James-Only movement.

Bible comparisons

G. A. Riplinger has a B.A., M.A., and M.F.A. degrees and has done additional postgraduate study at Harvard and Cornell Universities, and served as a professor.

In 1993, Riplinger wrote a comparison of modern Bible translations to the King James Version. "New Age Bible Versions". She also wrote The Language of the King James Bible, Which Bible is God's Word and Hazardous Materials: Greek and Hebrew Study Dangers.

She has caused controversy in the Christian world by speaking out openly against the underlying manuscripts of the modern versions of the Bible. She supports the Majority Texts manuscripts, used in producing the King James Bible, and criticises the Alexandrian Texts manuscripts which are the root texts for most other modern bibles.

Critics say she has misquoted and misused the works of others. S. E. Schnaiter reviewed her book, New Age Bible Versions, and said, "Riplinger appears to be another of those who rush to defense, alarmed by the proliferation of its modern rivals, armed with nothing more than the blunderbuss of ad hominem apologetic, when what is needed is the keenness of incisive evaluation."


She lists the ways in which she says the KJV root manuscripts are superior to other translations. In her discussion of the vocabulary of the KJV, she points out that "defame" and "dispensation" are based on Latin roots, which, she says, are more easily understood by readers who speak Spanish, French, and Italian She says some words and phrases in the NKJV and other versions are errors, comparing them to the KJV text. She cites NKJV's "sexual immorality" as supporting "relative/subjective standards" compared to the KJV's "fornication" (Matt. 12:32). Another example is from 1 Sam. 13:21 where NKJV is cited for transliterating the Hebrew currency unit "pim", which she criticizes as representing "positive identification microchip".
