Generation Leadership > How Reliable Are the Ancient Manuscripts of the Bible?
[Next Generation Christian Leadership Network] Compare this with the second best-preserved literary work of all antiquity, Homer's Iliad, which only 643 preserved manuscripts discovered thus far. The printing press wasn't invented until the 1450's, but we have hand-written copies of the Old Testament dating back to the 200's BC.

[The Heritage Anglican Network] May We Dare to Hope”¦? « The Heritage Anglican Network: An indication of how out of touch the author of the article appearing in the November 1998 issue of the Lutheran Witness is with the current discipline of New Testament text criticism can be found by contrasting his remarks with those of Ehrman in his Orthodox Corruption of Scripture. And it is here where we will begin to find our answer as to why the Missouri Synod has succumbed to Anabaptist values in this area of Bible translations: The Lutheran Witness author said the following about the doctrinal significance of the differences in the various textual renderings of the many modern translations:
[Cult News Network] The Sleuth - Lapsed Mormon Unloads On Mitt Romney: Ancient prophets of Israelite ancestry (for whom absolutely no evidence exists of their society's existence) believed that they were lighter in complexion than related groups because God cursed those groups with dark skin for disobedience (and thus those prophets are said to have had the same type of racial views as early 19th century white Americans), but the reality is that those related groups had darker skin because of greater exposure to the sun (even though both groups would have been exposed to the same climate), and Joseph Smith taught that what these prophets wrote was true (but apparently now LDS apologists know much more about Book of Mormons peoples than Smith did even though he claimed to have been instructed repeatedly by a resurrected member of the group).

[Untitled] Fjordman: Why Christians Accepted Greek Natural Philosophy, But ...: Throughout the period of Imperial disintegration, many aristocrats converted to Christianity, carrying over to the Church their literary education and respect for the preservation of the written word characteristic of late antiquity”¦.But the veneration and preservation of the word that was carried over by former Roman aristocrats gradually became fused with the practices of monasticism, making the Church an island of literacy in an otherwise oral culture. In Cantor's words: ”The Latin church was preserved from extinction, and European civilization with it, by the two ecclesiastical institutions that alone had the strength and efficiency to withstand the impress of surrounding barbarism: the regular clergy (that is, the monks) and the papacy.”

[BiblePlaces Blog] BiblePlaces Blog: Those Pottery Makers at Qumran: In general, your method (yes, we are still dealing with methodology) is to assume that Essenes lived at Qumran, and then attempt to explain the anamolies by inventing scenarios and pointing to things like the "necessity for outside support." Anyone living at the site would have required outside support, but the problem is that a thorough review of the data by a whole series of archaeologists (the Donceel team, Hirschfeld, and most recently the Magen and Peleg team) has shown there is no convincing reason to believe this is the place described by Pliny in the first place. No one, of course, is saying that the Qumran-Essene theory is entirely impossible, they're just saying that it doesn't account for the total configuration of evidence as well (i.e., in as economical and convincing a manner) as the Jerusalem theory: again, methodology.
