Book excerpt: Biblical Foundations Award Finalist and Runner Up Since the unexpected popularity of Bart Ehrman's bestselling Misquoting Jesus, textual criticism has become a staple of Christian apologetics. Ehrman's skepticism about recovering the original text of the New Testament does deserve a response. However, this renewed apologetic interest in textual criticism has created fresh problems for evangelicals. An unfortunate proliferation of myths, mistakes, and misinformation has arisen about this technical area of biblical studies. In this volume Elijah Hixson and Peter Gurry, along with a team of New Testament textual critics, offer up-to-date, accurate information on the history and current state of the New Testament text that will serve apologists and Christian students even as it offers a self-corrective to evangelical excesses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential introduction for scholars and students of New Testament Greek With the publication of the widely used 28th edition of Nestle-Aland’s Novum Testamentum Graece and the 5th edition of the United Bible Society Greek New Testament, a computer-assisted method known as the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM) was used for the first time to determine the most valuable witnesses and establish the initial text. This book offers the first full-length, student-friendly introduction to this important new method. After setting out the method’s history, separate chapters clarify its key concepts, including genealogical coherence, textual flow diagrams, and the global stemma. Examples from across the New Testament are used to show how the method works in practice. The result is an essential introduction that will be of interest to students, translators, commentators, and anyone else who studies the Greek New Testament. Features A clear explanation of how and why the text of the Greek New Testament is changing Step-by-step guidance on how to use the CBGM in textual criticism Diagrams, illustrations, and glossary of key terms

This book was released on 2022-06-08 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should the Byzantine text-type be considered valuable in determining the original text of the New Testament? Does it bear independent witness to ancient readings? Dr. Harry Sturz, in a book published in 1984, maintained that it should be valued and that it could help with finding older readings and thus contribute to our knowledge of and confidence in the text of the Greek New Testament. His position, that the Byzantine text-type should be weighed along with other witnesses to the ancient text, differs from those who dismiss Byzantine manuscripts, which were largely copied later, but also from those who hold that the Byzantine text has priority or even is determinative of what the final reading should be. He uses carefully laid out arguments and numerous specific examples in making his case. This book is divided into two parts. The first outlines the positions both for relying on the Byzantine text and for largely ignoring it. Part two examines the evidence and outlines an argument that neither side of this debate should win the field, but rather that the Byzantine text should be valued, but not made exclusive. Energion Publications is pleased to offer this reprint edition, reproducing the text of the old book exactly, and adding a preface by Dr. David Alan Black. We believe that Dr. Sturz’s arguments provide a strong case and are as relevant today as they were in 1984. We also believe that not just scholars but all believers should be made aware of discussions about the text of Scripture so that they can understand the arguments for the reliability of the text we have today. This book is primarily aimed at students of New Testament textual criticism and at scholars who are seeking to refine their art. The first section especially is accessible to any serious reader. While the second section does include Greek text and excellent references, the main argument is clear and accessible.

Book excerpt: When world-class biblical scholar Bart Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. In Misquoting Jesus, Ehrman tells the story behind the mistakes and changes that ancient scribes made to the New Testament and shows the great impact they had upon the Bible we use today. He frames his account with personal reflections on how his study of the Greek manuscripts made him abandon his once ultraconservative views of the Bible. Since the advent of the printing press and the accurate reproduction of texts, most people have assumed that when they read the New Testament they are reading an exact copy of Jesus's words or Saint Paul's writings. And yet, for almost fifteen hundred years these manuscripts were hand copied by scribes who were deeply influenced by the cultural, theological, and political disputes of their day. Both mistakes and intentional changes abound in the surviving manuscripts, making the original words difficult to reconstruct. For the first time, Ehrman reveals where and why these changes were made and how scholars go about reconstructing the original words of the New Testament as closely as possible. Ehrman makes the provocative case that many of our cherished biblical stories and widely held beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the divine origins of the Bible itself stem from both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes -- alterations that dramatically affected all subsequent versions of the Bible.

This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era where skepticism about the Bible’s reliability is rampant, "400,000+ Scribal Errors in the Greek New Testament Manuscripts: What Assurance Do We Have that We Can Trust the Bible?" emerges as a comprehensive and enlightening response. This book meticulously addresses the complex subject of textual variants in New Testament manuscripts, offering readers a deep dive into the world of New Testament Textual Criticism (NTTC). The book begins by challenging the conspiracy hypothesis and the influence of prominent scholars like Bart D. Ehrman. It navigates through the commonly held misconceptions and the exaggerated impact of scribal errors on the integrity of the New Testament text. Each chapter is structured to build the reader's understanding, from exploring the historical journey of the Bible manuscripts to examining the rigorous process of textual criticism. Key themes include a critical examination of the Greek New Testament, the transmission and preservation of manuscripts, and the impact of early Christianity and persecution on the New Testament text. The author also delves into the reliability of early texts and modern critical editions like NA28 and UBS5. One of the book's core arguments is the distinction between significant and insignificant variants and their impact on reconstructing the original text. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the certainty levels of textual variants, utilizing various textual tools, and comprehensively analyzing these variants. A unique feature of this book is its detailed discussion on how modern Bible translations handle textual variants, including an in-depth look at the New King James Version and the Updated American Standard Version (UASV). The book also includes a specialized commentary on the New Testament text and translation, providing a clear perspective on the nature and number of textual variants. "400,000+ Scribal Errors in the Greek New Testament Manuscripts" offers an authoritative and accessible approach to a complex subject, affirming the reliability of the New Testament. It is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the robustness of textual scholarship and the trustworthiness of the biblical text amidst the criticisms and doubts of the modern era.
