A Christian library is based upon the study and interpretation of the Bible. It should include the books which draw out the literal interpretation of the Bible, the fundamental truths taught by the Bible, and the ability to search the Bible so as to make proper application of these truths to every day life. The reverse should also be applicable. The student should be able to see a need or circumstance out of every day live and be able to study the Bible to determine the definative mind of God with respect to making proper decisions and applying God approved life actions with respect to such need or circumstance.
The foundation of the whole library is the Bible. Because of the profusion of versions which are based upon variant manipulations of source texts, it is necessary to do effective and repeatable study from a source which has stood the test of time with respect to research and acceptability. For this reason and in the context of this document, the Bible is understood to be the King James Version and the texts from which it came.
