Book Description
The manuscripts that form the Greek New Testament are scattered throughout the world and are usually only accessible to scholars and professionals. These were the manuscripts read by the earliest Christians, which comprised their "New Testament." In his volumes, Philip Wesley Comfort bridges the gap between these extant copies and today's critical text by providing accurate transcriptions of the earliest New Testament manuscripts, with photographs on the facing pages so readers can see the works for themselves. Comfort also provides an introduction to each manuscript that summarizes the contents, date, current location, provenance, and other essential information, including the latest findings. This allows students and scholars to make well-informed decisions about the translation and interpretation of the New Testament. Volume 1 includes manuscripts from Papyrus 1-72. Volume 2 includes manuscripts from Papyrus 75-139 as well as from the uncials. In addition, it features a special section on determining the date of a manuscript. This two-volume set replaces the previously published single volume Text of the Earliest New Testament Greek Manuscripts, as it contains many new manuscripts, updated research, and higher quality images of all manuscripts previously covered.

Book Description
In an era where skepticism about the Bible’s reliability is rampant, "400,000+ Scribal Errors in the Greek New Testament Manuscripts: What Assurance Do We Have that We Can Trust the Bible?" emerges as a comprehensive and enlightening response. This book meticulously addresses the complex subject of textual variants in New Testament manuscripts, offering readers a deep dive into the world of New Testament Textual Criticism (NTTC). The book begins by challenging the conspiracy hypothesis and the influence of prominent scholars like Bart D. Ehrman. It navigates through the commonly held misconceptions and the exaggerated impact of scribal errors on the integrity of the New Testament text. Each chapter is structured to build the reader's understanding, from exploring the historical journey of the Bible manuscripts to examining the rigorous process of textual criticism. Key themes include a critical examination of the Greek New Testament, the transmission and preservation of manuscripts, and the impact of early Christianity and persecution on the New Testament text. The author also delves into the reliability of early texts and modern critical editions like NA28 and UBS5. One of the book's core arguments is the distinction between significant and insignificant variants and their impact on reconstructing the original text. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the certainty levels of textual variants, utilizing various textual tools, and comprehensively analyzing these variants. A unique feature of this book is its detailed discussion on how modern Bible translations handle textual variants, including an in-depth look at the New King James Version and the Updated American Standard Version (UASV). The book also includes a specialized commentary on the New Testament text and translation, providing a clear perspective on the nature and number of textual variants. "400,000+ Scribal Errors in the Greek New Testament Manuscripts" offers an authoritative and accessible approach to a complex subject, affirming the reliability of the New Testament. It is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the robustness of textual scholarship and the trustworthiness of the biblical text amidst the criticisms and doubts of the modern era.
