DOWNLOAD EBOOKHave you like millions of Christians around the world believed that any Bible version is the pure, inerrant, and perfect Word of God? As Christians, we all hold to the fact that God's Word, the Holy Bible, is the final authority of what we believe and practice as Christians. However, if you discovered that the Bible you are reading and believe to be God's Holy Word has complete verses missing, and that it removes the blood atonement of Jesus, questions His deity, deletes the Trinity, and then adds and subtracts words that completely changes the meaning, would it upset you to discover that you had been deceived and lied to? The Truth About The TRUTH is a must read for all Christians. This book will challenge you in many ways and yet provide solid evidence that there has indeed been a huge ongoing deception concerning the modern bible versions. Here are a couple questions to ponder: Does your "easier-to-read modern bible" contain only the truth, or has it been corrupted with verses missing and words added and deleted, which change the meaning of God's Word? Are you willing to apply 2 Timothy 2:15 to find out? Challenge yourself and "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince the modern period, the field of biblical studies has relied upon libraries, museums, and archives for its evidentiary and credentialing needs. Yet, absent in biblical scholarship is a thorough and critical examination of the instrumentality of the discipline’s master archives for elite power structures. Addressing this gap in biblical scholarship lies central to this book. Interrogated here is a premier repository or master archive of the discipline: the British Museum. Using an assemblage of critical theories from archival discourse to postcolonial studies, space theory to governmentality studies, the focal point of this book is at the intersections of the Museum’s rise to scientific prominence, the British Empire, and the conferring of scientific authority to modern biblical critics in the nineteenth century. Gregory L. Cuéllar initiates a season of historicization of the master archives of biblical studies and archival criticism.
Famine for the Word of God

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs Lamar Mauldin studied the phenomenon of modern Bible versions, it became apparent that a conspiracy of sorts was behind them. Not that all the translators were necessarily evil, but the overall desire of some to undermine the King James Version is of itself diabolical. This book has been written to alert the Christian world to this conspiracy. Quoting from several sources regarding the integrity of some of the translators from bygone years, the author attempts to show that they, although likely sincere, were less than accurate in their translation of the Hebrew and Greek manuscripts into English. Use of extensive passages from the writings of Ellen G. White further shows the validity of the King James Version of the Bible. The grand language of the King James Version has stood the test of time, and it finds no equal in the modern translations. Because the Bible is the means through which God has chosen to communicate with fallen humanity, the way in which we read and understand it is vital.
Cambridge Theology in the Nineteenth Century

ISBN-13: 1351953532
DOWNLOAD EBOOKMany books have been written about nineteenth-century Oxford theology, but what was happening in Cambridge? This book provides the first continuous account of what might be called 'the Cambridge theological tradition', by discussing its leading figures from Richard Watson and William Paley, through Herbert Marsh and Julius Hare, to the trio of Lightfoot, Westcott and Hort. It also includes a chapter on nonconformists such as Robertson Smith, P.T. Forsyth and T.R. Glover. The analysis is organised around the defences that were offered for the credibility of Christianity in response to hostile and friendly critics. In this period the study of theology was not yet divided into its modern self-contained areas. A critical approach to scripture was taken for granted, and its implications for ecclesiology, the understanding of salvation and the social implications of the Gospel were teased out (in Hort's phrase) through enquiry and controversy as a way to discover truth. Cambridge both engaged with German theology and responded positively to the nineteenth-century 'crisis of faith'.
Studies in the Textual Criticism of the New Testament
Author: Bart D. Ehrman
Publisher: BRILL
Published: 2006-05-01

ISBN-13: 9047409175
DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor the first time in one volume this book presents contributions to the textual criticism of the New Testament made over the past twenty years by Bart Ehrman, one of the premier textual scholars in North America. The collection includes fifteen previously published articles and six lectures (delivered at Duke University and Yale University) on a range of topics of central importance to the field. Following a general essay that gives an introduction to the field for beginners are several essays dealing with text-critical method, especially pertaining to the classification of the Greek manuscript witnesses. There then follow two articles on the history of the text, several articles on important specific textual problems, and three articles on the importance and use of patristic evidence for establishing the text and writing the history of its transmission. The volume concludes with six lectures designed to show the importance not only of reconstructing an allegedly “original” text but also of recognizing how that text was changed by scribes of the early Christian centuries. This book will be of vital interest to any scholar or advanced student of the New Testament and early Christianity. It will make an ideal companion volume for Bart Ehrman’s ground-breaking study, The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture: The Effects of Early Christological Controversies on the Text of the New Testament (Oxford, 1993) and the volume he co-edited with Michael Holmes, The Text of the New Testament in Contemporary Research: Essays on the Status Quaestionis (Eerdmans, 1995).
A History of the Quests for the Historical Jesus, Volume 2

ISBN-13: 0310125626
DOWNLOAD EBOOKA comprehensive, two-volume reassessment of the quests for the historical Jesus that details their origins and underlying presuppositions as well as their ongoing influence on today's biblical and theological scholarship. Jesus' life and teaching is important to every question we ask about what we believe and why we believe it. And yet there has never been common agreement about his identity, intentions, or teachings—even among first-century historians and scholars. Throughout history, different religious and philosophical traditions have attempted to claim Jesus and paint him in the cultural narratives of their heritage, creating a labyrinth of conflicting ideas. From the evolution of orthodoxy and quests before Albert Schweitzer's famous "Old Quest," to today's ongoing questions about criteria, methods, and sources, A History of the Quests for the Historical Jesus not only chronicles the developments but lays the groundwork for the way forward. The late Colin Brown brings his scholarly prowess in both theology and biblical studies to bear on the subject, assessing not only the historical and exegetical nuts and bolts of the debate about Jesus of Nazareth but also its philosophical, sociological, and theological underpinnings. Instead of seeking a bedrock of "facts," Brown stresses the role of hermeneutics in formulating questions and seeking answers. Colin Brown was almost finished with the manuscript at the time of his passing in 2019. Brought to its final form by Craig A. Evans, this book promises to become the definitive history and assessment of the quests for the historical Jesus. Volume One (sold separately) covers the period from the beginnings of Christianity to the end of World War II. Volume Two covers the period from the post-War era through contemporary debates.
