How do we know the right books are in  the Bible? Does the Bible contain errors? What are the oldest copies we have of  the Bible? How do we know that the Bible hasn't been changed over the years? Why  are there so many translations of the Bible, and which one should I use? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese  are just some of the important questions about the Bible that are discussed in this  book. Understanding basic facts about the origin of the Bible is essential for every  Christian, but it can also be confusing and difficult. Here, two well-known scholars,  authors of a more technical book, \u003ci\u003eA General Introduction to the Bible\u003c\/i\u003e,  explain simply and clearly these basic facts. Inspiration, the biblical canon, major  manuscripts, textual criticism, early translations, and modern versions are some  of the major topics discussed. Careful explanations of important points are given  throughout, as the entire field of biblical introduction is covered. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompletely  updated and revised edition of the 1974 work (more than 78,000 copies sold). Helpful  charts have been added, along with an index of subjects, persons, and Scripture.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is ideally suited for Bible students, pastors, and professors.  While writing for readers without previous training, the authors do not gloss over  difficult and complex issues when they arise. The nature of inspiration, the extent  of the canon, and the usefulness of modern versions are all clearly discussed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe  authors write: \"The chain of communication \u003ci\u003efrom God to us\u003c\/i\u003e is strong.   It has several solid links: inspiration, collection, transmission, and translations.   The strength of these links provide the contemporary Christian with the moral certitude  that the Spirit-inspired original text of Scripture has been providentially preserved  by God so that for all practical purposes the Bible in our hands is the infallible  and inerrant word of God.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moody Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108757782768,"sku":"9780802483928","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802483928_p0.jpg?v=1763725923","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802483928","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
