- catalog abstract ""'...And the word was a god.' This mistranslation of John 1:1 by Jehovah's Witnesses has been vigorously refuted by Christians, and rightly so. Now, because the JWs have changed their line of reasoning in defending this key text, past refutations are obsolete. The new JW arguments are more sophisticated and their line of reasoning is far more subtle. To meet these new and dangerous misconceptions, this book focuses on the implications of the mistranslation of John 1:1 and John 8:58. Fallacies are exposed and dismissed in precise language that can be easily misunderstood by laypersons who have no knowledge of Greek. The misconceptions and mistranslations so enthusiastically propounded by JWs no longer need to be intimidating. Christians can intelligently and easily counterattack, using the clear and convincing evaluations given in this book" -- BACK COVER.".
