This book denounces modern Bible translations and affirms the authority of the [[King James Version]]. Ruckman is largely responsible for the "[[King James Only]]" dispute that split [[fundamentalism]] in the 1980s. He is the founder of the Pensacola Bible Institute, an unaccredited school in Pensacola, Florida, as well as a UFO enthusiast.<ref>"[http://www.ruckmanism.org/ufo Refuse profane and old wives’ fables: A review of Ruckman’s UFO book “Black is Beautiful”], Ruckmanism.org.</ref>

Ruckman argues that KJV is superior, not only to other English-language translations, but also to ''[[Textus Receptus]]'', the Greek text that it is based on. Modern Bible translations are based on the "Alexandrian" Greek text. This text is compiled from manuscripts that are centuries older than the ones used to produce TR. The name is from Codex Alexandrinus, one of the manuscripts used.
