This will be my ending review of the excellent book "UNHOLY HANDS ON THE BIBLE " vol. 2.  But I'd like to hear from what you think on this subject. This volume covers so much information and details on different Modern Bible translations. So I'll let you buy a copy for yourself and make your own decision. What I will do is turn it over to Mr.Wilbur Pickering,Th.M Ph.D , "What difference does it make?" "It has been argued for at least 200 years (John Bengal,d.1752,was the first), that no matter what Greek text one may use it will not effect doctrine. In my own experience,for over thirty years, when I have raised the question  of what is the correct Greek text of the New Testament, regardless of the audience, the usual response has been; "What difference does it make?" Mr. Pickering continues,"The eclectic Greek text presently in vogue,UBS3 (third edition of the Greek New Testament produced by the United Bible Societies),represents the type of text upon which most modern versions are based.( The KJV,the NKJV,the MKJV and the Literal Translation follow a rather different type of text, a close cousin of the Majority Text,edited by Hodges and Forstad and published by Thomas Nelson Publishers).  The discrepancy between UBS3 and the Majority Text is around 8% (involving 8% of the words.) In a Greek text 600 pages that represent 48 solid pages worth of discrepancies. About a fifth of that reflects omissions in the eclectic text , so it is some ten pages shorter than the Majority Text. Although perhaps half of the differences between the Majority and eclectic texts might be termed "inconsequential",I suppose, that leaves some 25 pages worth of differences that are significant ( in varying degrees). In spite of these differences it is usually assumed that no cardinal Christian doctrine is at risk ( though some ,such as eternal judgement,the ascension and the deity of Jesus , are weakened). However, the most basic of all,the divine inspiration of the text,is indeed under attack.   The eclectic text incorporates plain errors of fact and contradictions such as that any claim that the New Testament is divinely inspired becomes relative, and the doctrine of inerrancy becomes untenable. If the authority of the New Testament is undermined, all its teachings are likewise affected. During the whole century the credibility of the New Testament text has been eroded, and this credibilty crisis has been forced upon the attention of the laity by the modern versions that encloses parts of the text in brackets and have numerous footnotes that raise doubts about the integrity of the text. The consequences of all this are serious and far- reaching for the future of the Church."  If you would like to read more on this subject visit www.jesuslovesyouchristianbooks.com and purchase a copy of volume 2 of "UNHOLY HANDS ON THE BIBLE.
