Sir Frederic G. Kenyon's Our Bible and the Ancient Manuscripts: Being a History of the Text and Its Translations is a classic work that presents a comprehensive history of the biblical text and its various translations throughout history. It covers: Textual History of the Bible, Ancient Manuscripts, The Translation Process, The Development of the English Bible. Textual Validity: Overall, the book aims to convince readers of the integrity and reliability of the modern biblical text by demonstrating the close continuity between the extant ancient manuscripts and the Bible in use today. It is an essential resource for scholars and general readers interested in the history of the Bible's textual transmission and the evolution of its translations. Although the original edition predates the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a later revision incorporates these important archaeological discoveries, further strengthening Kenyon's analysis.
