When different manuscripts of the Bible disagree with each other on what God has indeed said, we can lose our confidence that we even know what God said. Many Christians and numerous versions of the Bible even assume that 4% of the text of the New Testament is forever lost. How can we know if the text of our Bible contains the same words it did when the prophets wrote them? Jesus said "Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." How can we know which copy of the Greek texts contains the correct jots and tittles?
In this booklet, Dr. Kayser and Dr. Wilbur Pickering, PhD, ThM (New Testament textual scholar, linguist, and Bible translator) analyze the different Greek texts behind different Bible translations, share the history of each text and how it was regarded through church history, and give eleven Biblical presuppositions that should guide our analysis of the evidence. Kayser and Pickering show which translations use unreliable manuscripts and which can be trusted, and make an argument for returning to the text of the Church Fathers and the Reformation, the Ecclesiastical or “Majority Text.”
This book is designed to restore a sense of confidence that the Bible does indeed “belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law” (Deut. 29:29)
