Don't Passover Easter: A New Defense of Easter in Acts 12:4

About This Resource

This book presents a fresh, closely reasoned defense of the King James Version’s rendering “Easter” in Acts 12:4—an issue long debated in translation and textual studies. Bryan C. Ross examines why the term appears in this verse and argues that it reflects the passage’s context and the translators’ intent, inviting readers to reconsider assumptions about how key words shape interpretation. Readers will gain a clear walk-through of the Acts 12 narrative, careful analysis of the underlying term and its usage, and a survey of common objections to the KJV reading. The argument is developed methodically, weighing context, lexical evidence, and translation philosophy to show how a single word choice influences doctrine, teaching, and study. Students of Scripture, pastors, and lay readers committed to precise interpretation will find tools for evaluating translations and articulating a thoughtful position on this contested verse. Scripture quotations are drawn from the King James Version.
