God's Word in Our Hands: The Bible Preserved for Us

by James B. Williams

In this follow-up book to the landmark From the Mind of God to the Mind of Man , the Text and Translation Committee discusses the historical preservation of the Word of God.
The solid facts of the process by which the Bible has come to its present form are explained in detail.
God's Word in Our Hands includes textual criticism of the existing manuscripts and autographs, including the Textus Receptus, the Majority, Eclectic, and Minority texts, and the Masoretic Text. It also provides needed answers to the arguments of those who adhere to extreme or exclusive positions.
God's Word in Our Hands is excellent for pastors, teachers, and laypersons alike. It will prove that all conservative versions are, without a doubt, translations of the plenary verbally inspired Word of God.

I couldn't get through it. This book is like trying to drink from a fire hose when you only need a cup of water.

There's a lot here so going forward I intend to use it as a reference book when I need to know about a particular issue or subject rather than a cover to cover read.

Excelente libro que explica la controversia King James Only. Cada capítulo es de mucha ayuda para asentar una posición conservadora y ayudarnos en la tarea futura de las traducciones. No podemos decir que sólo las traducciones del Textus Receptus son la palabra de Dios. Gracias a Dios por las otras familias y los otros textos Griegos que nos dan más confianza que tenemos la Palabra de Dios es nuestras manos.

A series of essays loosely on the topic of the Bible.
