Benjamin G. Wilkinson

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Dr. Benjamin George Wilkinson (1872-1968) was a Seventh-day Adventist missionary, educator, theologian and the Dean of Theology at the Seventh-day Adventist Washington Missionary College (now known as Washington Adventist University) near Washington, D.C. Wilkinson is an obscure figure today, and is remembered mainly for a book he wrote in 1930 entitled Our Authorized Bible Vindicated. Some years later Independent Baptist preacher David Otis Fuller wrote his own book concerning the Textual debate entitled, Which Bible?, which helped to popularize King James Only beliefs due to the fact that he concealed Wilkinson's Adventist beliefs by omitting it from his book. Benjamin was also the first Seventh-day Adventist to earn a PhD. Wilkinson criticized the English Revised Version of 1881 because he claimed it was translated from inaccurate Greek texts.
