So much for Biblical inerrancy
Miriam ‘Ma’ Ferguson, governor of Texas once remarked, “if English is good enough for the Bible, it is good enough for me”. Trouble of course, is the Bible was not written in English. It was not written in Latin either. ‘The New Testament' was written in Greek and that is just the beginning of the problem in assessing ‘what Jesus actually said and did.’ Exacerbating this task is that there are no original copies of the books of the New Testament. In fact, there are no copies of the originals. In fact, there are no copies of the copies of the copies of the original scriptures. Of the thousands of scriptural manuscripts that do exist, the oldest were written hundreds of years after the Christ lived/died and were copied by scribes, who were often not well trained in their profession and made many mistakes. Later more professional scribes either unintentionally or deliberately altered the documents for 'clarity' or theological ‘purity’ to justify whatever orthodoxy they embraced. The result is tens of thousands of mistakes and contradictions found in scripture---over thirty thousand in the Greek Bible alone and even more than that in the Vulgate---which is the Latin translation from the Greek version. ‘King James;’ is far down the road from both of them---and compounds all those discrepancies. So much for Biblical inerrancy. Ehrman leads the reader on a journey into how the early Christian divisions and the scribes copying those scriptures altered the translations of New Testament. He offers numerous detailed examples supporting his thesis. He explains how current scholars using textual analysis and the history of those early conflicts in Christianity are attempting identify the ‘original text’ of the Book that the largest world religion holds scared. Ehrman concludes by saying: “I began to see that not just the scribal text, but the text itself was a very human book.” Well researched and documented by a scholar who is equally familiar with both “The Book”, its authors, history and the nuances of the languages’ in which it has been written. Highly recommended.

Reeman---as usual---excellent!
Have read over a dozen of Reeman's books on the naval conflict in World War II. While there are similarities in all of them, each is also unique. 'Revendezous...' concerns a 'merchant cruiser', a converted small ocean liner, that has been pressed into service because of the Royal Navy's desperate need to combat both the German surface and U-boat threats. Its captain is Commander Andrew Lindsay, who's previous command, an over age destroyer, was lost in an earlier engagement. His assignment is to integrate his novice recruits and dispirited veterans into a functioning crew and use his limited resources to combat these dual threats. Wonderful story with both riveting action and excellent character development. Its ending is powerful. Highly recommended.
