Douglas M. Beaumont Quotes

When It Comes To The New Testament, We Can Be Confident We Are Reading From Accurate Sources, Because We Have So Many Ancient Copies To Compare. For Many Ancient Texts There Are Only A Handful Of Manuscripts In Existence. We Have Only Nine Or Ten Good Copies Of Julius Caesar's The Gallic Wars. The Best-preserved, Non-biblical Ancient Writing We Have Is Homer's Iliad, Of Which There Are Only 643 Copies. Compare These Numbers To The New Testament, Which Is Based On Nearly Six Thousand Greek Manuscripts Plus Over Nine Thousand Ancient Copies In Other Languages. If That Were Not Enough, Even If All Of These Copies Were Lost, We Could Reconstruct All But Eleven Verses Of The New Testament From Ancient Quotations Of The Bible.
