No, you missed the point. Thy pitched it before they published it. The "sold Evangelical Christianity" on it, before they put it out for public consumption.

Ah, yes. It wasn't for English was it? I don't think that's what Hovind meant. He was trying to give the author some credibility.
Many of us that have read Riplinger know first-hand her false citation and illogical argumentation. I posted about one of her books here --

Here is a thread about a video of a Riplinger lecture in which I analyze many of her assertions --

(the link to the video in the OP may not work, but I think this is the same video --

That Hovind believed her book to be "excellent" shows his bias. That he sold her books should make his opinion on the topic immediately suspect.
My only beef with KH, over citing Mrs.Riplinger, is that she is a she.
You should have seen the Chancellor, of her Alma Mater, the nigt she received her honorary PHD in English Lit. trying to figure out how to shut her up. She went on like someone who expects to be forcibly removed at any moment.

Quite right, I didn't get that. So, what specific event in 1875 is referenced as the selling of the W-H NT? They had worked on it for over 20 years by that year (clearly they would have had 'pitched' their ideas long before that).No, you missed the point. Thy pitched it before they published it. The "sold Evangelical Christianity" on it, before they put it out for public consumption.

Hovind offers to sell a Gipp book which I reviewed here --

If these are the sources where Hovind gets his ideas, it is no wonder he is confused.

They started "prepping the market= early purposefully hiding their "unorthodoxy" until after the Greek NT was released.

Gipp needs to do something that he is actually capable of with his life.
Mrs.Riplinger

You are misinformed. A PHD degree is an earned degree, and it is not a honorary degree. A honorary degree is not correctly and properly called a PHD.
Jack Hyles at Hyles Anderson College gave Gail Riplinger a honorary doctor's degree. Since Riplinger was not a graduate of Hyles Anderson College, it was not her Alma Mater.
Gail Riplinger is said to be a graduate of Kent State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Interior Design, a Master of Arts degree in Home Economics, and a Master of Fine Arts degree.

Thanks for the corrections. I hate to be in error about anything. I'm glad you didn't just let me go on looking like an idiot.
I was there, when Dr. Rips was awarded her h.d. I never knew she wasn't a grad.
That was a long painful night.
