| − | '''Gail A. Riplinger''' (née Ludwig, née Latessa, née Kaleda) is an American Christian author, former university Instructor, and founder of AV Publications, an organization advocating for [[King James Version Only]]ism. Her books include ''In Awe of Thy Word'', and ''New Age Bible Versions'', which has over 140,000 copies sold. Riplinger has a B.A. in interior design, a M.A. in home economics, and a M.F.A in art, all from Kent State University. She has never had any formal or informal theological training; though she claims having done postgraduate work at Harvard and Cornell the only "proof" is claims she makes in her publications. Furthermore, she claims a doctorate (and demands to be addressed as Dr. Riplinger); it is an honorary one from Hyles-Anderson College (which does not offer actual doctoral degrees); the same school has awarded honorary doctorates to, among others, the ''horse'' of John R. Rice. | + | '''Gail A.
