How Do We Know We’re Reading the Actual Bible? (With Dr. Dan Block)

Episode notes from The Ten Minute Bible Hour

The Bible was written a very long time ago, and over the centuries the individual books that make it up have been hand copied hundreds of thousands of times. So what happens when the copies don’t precisely agree? How sure can we be what we’re reading now is an accurate rendering of what was written down in the first place? Dr. Dan Block specializes in this and was kind enough to sit down and talk me through the process of sorting out the challenging parts of working through the biblical manuscripts in the process of translating the Bible from the original languages to modern languages.
