Abstract:
"This book is a story about individuals, and the drama their lives wove. The text has been corrupted and distorted so that there exists a confusing number of versions. How did the text of the Bible come to be what it is? This book provides an understanding of, and an appreciation for, the richness of its text"-- Provided by publisher.
