Colloquially known as Hassell's History, this is the definitive book for Old School Baptist history. Though the author splits it into two parts (chapters 1-19 are a general history of the church from creation to the 19^th century; chapters 20-27 are a history of the Kehukee Primitive Baptist Association, and Primitive Baptists in America), I think of it as being organized into three parts: a commentary on the Bible (chapters 1-8), a history of the churches that followed the closing of the canon (chapters 9-19), and a history of the author's church association and Primitive Baptists at that time (chapters 20-27).

Alexander McClure spent over two decades researching the lives and expertise of the men who translated the Bible into the King James Version. Modernists say that these men didn't know as much about ancient languages and translation as contemporary translators do. Read for yourself the level of scholarship and mastery of language these men had, and the care that was taken in the translation process.

This book challenges the widely-held influence of Cyrus Ingerson Scofield's Bible notes, which the author believes were based on a significant deception. The author, with 65 years of ordained ministry and biblical study, aims to expose the errors and presumptions in the Scofield Reference Bible, which have shaped the direction of churches, especially in America.
