Religion emphasizes Christ on the wall or Christ around the neck. The Bible emphasizes Christ in the heart.

James W. Knox

James W. Knox (* 1958) ist ein US-amerikanischer Pastor, Bibellehrer und Autor der Independent Fundamental Baptists, der seit 1987 die Bible Baptist Church in DeLand, Florida, leitet. Er steht für eine strikt fundamentalistische Theologie sowie die King-James-Only-Bewegung und erlangte durch weltweite Predigtreihen zu allen 66 Büchern der Bibel Bekanntheit. Bibellesern bietet sein Werk einen lückenlosen Bestand an versweisen Predigtkommentaren aus konservativer Perspektive, wenngleich seine radikale Ablehnung moderner Bibelübersetzungen fachlich umstritten ist.
