Gail Anne Riplinger (née Ludwig) was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1947 to Wilson and Helen Ludwig.

After high school, Riplinger went on to earn a BA in Interior Design, an MA in Home Economics, and an MFA from Kent State University, where she taught in the Home Economics department from 1981 to 1988. She was later awarded an honorary doctorate at Hyles-Anderson College.

In 1993, Riplinger wrote a comparison of modern Bible translations to the King James Version. Riplinger has presented her work internationally, effectively changing many mainline views on Modern Bible Translations. Others have used her original comparisons as springboards for further research, including Dr. E. Kirkley-Best, who has explored the dissension and variance of the use of Jewish terms in post-Westcott and Hort based translations (RV, RSV, NRSV etc) and in post -Shoah translations. She also wrote "The Language of the King James Bible", "Which Bible is God's Word" and "Hazardous Materials: Greek and Hebrew Study Dangers".
