God's Word in Our Hands: The Bible Preserved for Us [Paperback]

James B. Williams (Editor), Randolph Shaylor (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 2003

In this follow-up book to the landmark From the Mind of God to the Mind of Man, the Text and Translation Committee discusses the historical preservation of the Word of God.

The solid facts of the process by which the Bible has come to its present form are explained in detail. The book includes textual criticism of the existing manuscripts and autographs, including the Textus Receptus, the Majority, Eclectic, and Minority texts, and the Masoretic Text. It also provides needed answers to the arguments of those who adhere to extreme or exclusive positions.

This book is excellent for pastors, teachers, and laypersons alike. It will prove that all conservative versions are, without a doubt, translations of the plenary verbally inspired Word of God.

This review is from: God's Word in Our Hands: The Bible Preserved for Us (Paperback)

I had difficulty finishing this book. At times I could not put it down and at times I could hardly keep reading it. It is like a compilation of several books by several authors, each one not conferring with the other in order to harmonize the content. Making "God's Word in our hands" more concise would make it much more interesting.
The authors have the same plea, that brethren fully understand the bible version issue, and that they show love and tolerance for those who have a different opinion than their own. The latter being much more important than the former.

The book came in excellent condition. The shipping time seemed reasonable and secure. I have not started reading the book yet, but I know I will enjoy it because I already knew something of what it was about and the philosophy behind it. My experience with this has been a very good one. Thank you.
