'''Gail A. Riplinger''' (nee Ludwig, nee Latessa, nee 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 B.A., M.A., and M.F.A degrees from Kent State University, all in interior design.  She has never had any formal or informal theological training.

 

Riplinger's seminal work, ''New Age Bible Versions'', has been routinely criticized for its poor scholarship, even within KJV-only circles.  KJV-only advocate [[David Cloud]], while agreeing with her concerns about the multiplicity of modern Bible versions, noted that her book contained numerous "misquoting and poor documentation", "errors of fact", "faulty logic", "unproven statements", "amazing statements" such that Cloud remarked "[e]ven the most radical charismatic prophets hesitate to use such intemperate language", and "endorsements" from people who, in fact, did not endorse the book.<ref>https://www.wayoflife.org/database/newagebibleversions.html</ref>

 

Furthermore, she has not been completely truthful with her past: she has been married three times, two of the marriages ending in divorce, both times after she claimed to convert to Christianity.  She has claimed she was not married (when she was married to her second husband), and that both prior husbands were either adulterous or had abandoned her (though her divorce petitions claimed neither).  There was also concern that she was in a relationship with her (now current and third) husband while still married to her second one.<ref>https://www.biblefortoday.org/PDF/WhoIsGailRiplinger.pdf</ref>
