The KJO view was articulated by Benjamin G. Wilkinson (1872–1968), a Seventh-day Adventist missionary, in the book ''Our Authorized Bible Vindicated'' (1930). This book was plagerized by Jasper James Ray (1955) and by [[Peter Ruckman]] (1964). In 1970, Wilkinson's writing was republished in ''Which Bible?'' (1970), properly attributed this time. This book is a collection of essays edited by David Otis Fuller. Fuller added numerous footnotes to correct errors and misunderstandings in the Wilkinson text, some of which involve basic matters of church history.<ref>Kutilek, Doug, "[http://www.kjvonly.org/doug/kutilek_wilkinson_incred.htm Wilkinson's Incredible Errors]", ''Baptist Biblical Heritage'', Vol. I, No. 3; Fall, 1990. Fuller presents the footnotes as if they were written by Wilkinson, so Wilkinson's lack of expertise is not as apparent in the 1970 edition as it was in earlier editions.</ref> Several major Bible translations appeared in the early 1970s, making Fuller's treatment topical. Fuller's book got far more attention than earlier works on this subject. It is considered responsible for kicking off KJO as a movement.

The KJO authors claim that ''[[Textus Receptus]]'', the Greek text used by KJV, is a more reliable text than the so called Alexandrian text that is used by modern translations. TR was edited by Erasmus in 16th century and is based on several 12th century Byzantine manuscripts.

Modern translations are based on ''[[Codex Vaticanius]]'' and ''[[Codex Sinaiticus]]'', both fourth century manuscripts. These two manuscripts are said to be "Alexandrian" because they have same type of text as ''[[Codex Alexandrinus]]'', a fifth century manuscript. (No one knows where they were produced.) In 1881, B.F. Westcott (1825-1903) and F.J.A. Hort produced a "Critical Text" based on these two manuscripts.<ref>Modern Bible translations are based on Greek texts edited by [http://www.nestle-aland.com Nestle Aland] and the [http://www.unitedbiblesocieties.org United Bible Societies]. These are similar to Westcott-Hort, but take into account manuscripts and papyrus fragments that were discovered later.</ref> Westcott and Hort figure prominently in KJO demonology, where the "Westcott and Hort Only" movement is denounced.<ref>Stringer, Dr. Phil, "[http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Bible/wh-only.htm The Westcott and Hort Only Controversy]"</ref>
