It would also be neat to get hold of a copy of the statement that those who worked with SOTL Foundation during Dr Rice's ministry had to sign each year. <br /><br />M.

It should probably also be remembered that Rice was in poor health at the time of the transition. <br /><br />Yes, Robert L. Sumner was assistant editor of the Sword of the Lord with John R. Rice. Sumner wrote articles in the Sword against KJV Only, when Rice was editor. Of course, Sumner and Rice had the same view, strongly against KJV Only. <br /><br />R. L. Sumner is now, and has been for years, editor of The Biblical Evangelist. A link to it is found in the right margin here at Gulf Coast Pastor. I’d recommend everyone, and especially pastors, to subscribe to it. I think they would find it very valuable. <br /><br />Sumner has a booklet on this subject, “Bible Translations,” for $2.50:<br /><br />http://biblicalevangelist.org/store/index.php?category=2 <br /><br />David R.

Rice would have picked someone with a different view on the Bible, but perhaps he did not think it was that much different. Wasn't Robert L. Sumner an assistant editor or something like that at one time? I remember from articles I read in the Sword that he took basically the same position as Rice on the Bible versions issue.R. L.

L. Vaughn,

And many would say the Sword of the Lord has gone in directions Rice would not have agreed with. <br /><br />The Sword of the Lord is definitely KJV Only (at least on variety of KJV Only) today. Their website says,<br /><br />“WE BELIEVE the Bible, the Scriptures of the Old Testament and the New Testament, preserved for us in the Masoretic text (Old Testament) Textus Receptus (New Testament) and in the King James Bible, is verbally and plenarily inspired of God.”<br /><br />I may get a little more information later. If so, I’ll post it here. <br />David R. Brumbelow<br />David R.

My parents were long time subscribers and I am familiar with Rice's view. It is my understanding that Rice hand-picked Curtis Hutson as his successor. I would think he would have agreed with Rice, but I seem to remember that Hutson took something of a KJVO position, and does his successor, Sheldon Smith.R. L.
