The Journey from Texts to Translations
If you want to know how today’s Bible came, you have to read this book. If you want to know how there are so many Bibles in today’s world, you have to read this book. If you want to know what are the differences between so many version of Bibles, you…have to read this book.
The author – Paul D. Wegner tells you how does the Bible differ from other ancient Near Eastern literature? How were the books of the Bible recognized as authoritative and by whom? Why do Jews consider only the Old Testament as authoritative whereas Chrsitians hold that both Old and New Tastements are? Why do some religious traditions believe that the Apocrypha is part of Scripture while others do not? How accurate is the Bible and how do present translations compare with the oldest manuscripts of the Bible?
I had been asking myself those questions above for long time especially when I asked myself why should I believe in Bible. When everyone tells me that Chrstians should believe in Bible, doesn’t mean that I should believe in Bible.
The book answers all the questions in detail. I learnt a lot from the book. I now can tell my friends, my family and my colleagues why I believe in Bible and how true the Bible is.
