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, and that she married him a mere two months after her second divorce was finalized. She has further claimed alternately (while doing research for ''New Age Bible Versions'') that she was so bedridden she couldn't care for her daughter, and that she made many trips to the library at the same time.<ref>https://www.biblefortoday.org/PDF/WhoIsGailRiplinger.pdf</ref>
