Manuscript Evidence

Written By Alan Shelby
 

Description

This class examines the historical and cultural settings in which the scriptures were inspired and explores the history of preservation and translation from the original manuscripts to today. We will answer: What is the Bible and where did it come from? What is the Apocrypha? Who decided what books should be in the Bible? Why are the Dead Sea Scrolls important? What is the Septuagint (LXX)? Where do modern Bible translations come from and are all of them right? This course provides practical answers from the Bible itself. An evidential approach to textual criticism is presented, providing a relevant defense of the authoritative nature of the Bible.
