Has the Bible been corrupted over centuries of copying and translation? Or can we trust that the text in our hands today faithfully reflects what the prophets and apostles originally wrote?

In this second episode of the Understanding the Bible mini-series, host Dr. Shaun Michael takes listeners on the Bible’s incredible journey—from ancient manuscripts to modern translations. Along the way, he tackles the claims of skeptics like Bart Ehrman, the confusion stirred by conspiracy theories, and even the narrow arguments of KJV-Only advocates. The result? A clear, compelling case that the Bible has been miraculously preserved by God’s providence across generations.

What you’ll learn:

✅ Why ancient scribes treated copying Scripture as an act of worship, not casual work

✅ How nearly 6,000 Greek manuscripts (and 20,000+ in other languages) prove the New Testament’s reliability

✅ Why minor scribal errors don’t change core doctrines—and actually highlight God’s preservation

✅ How textual criticism works like CSI for Scripture—reconstructing the original text with 99.5% certainty

✅ Why the “lost gospels” (Thomas, Judas, etc.) never belonged in the canon

✅ How modern translations (ESV, NASB, NIV) faithfully reflect the earliest and best manuscripts

✅ Why KJV-Onlyism misses the bigger picture of God’s global mission through translation

We’re not here to play defense—we’re here to show why the manuscript evidence, textual criticism, and translation history actually confirm the Bible as the most reliable, preserved, and translated text in human history.
