Publisher's Synopsis
Modern textual critics and translators offer readings contrary to the traditional scripture text in numerous passages, seemingly in accord with an underlying agenda at times. They don't seem to view the text as God's Word, but as a mere flawed work of men requiring their corrective touch. That was the self-proclaimed view of Drs. Wescott and Hort, two textual critics of recent history who were so influential in attacking the traditional New Testament text and substituting their version." They were able to influence many gullible scholars to the extent that the traditional text has been virtually ignored for many decades in favor of texts based entirely, or mainly, on the invention of these two. The case with the Old Testament is complex due to a unique history of Hebrew-text tradition that necessitates much study to grasp all the implications of text language fully. Here we elaborate on the inerrancy and uniqueness of the Masoretic Text, referring specifically to the Bomberg Ben Chayyim text that is the basis of the KJB Old Testament and is part of what Bible-believers today refer to as the Received Text.
