Overview - As Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille taught: in our quest for truth, we must realize that no single version of the Bible, no translation, can rightly be referred to as THE WORD OF GOD. Although the words were perfect as God first gave them to the prophets to write, not even a single page of the originally written Scriptures is known to exist.

Overview
As Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille taught: in our quest for truth, we must realize that no single version of the Bible, no translation, can rightly be referred to as THE WORD OF GOD. Although the words were perfect as God first gave them to the prophets to write, not even a single page of the originally written Scriptures is known to exist. For that reason, it is essential to understand how the various versions of the Bible today came about. In order to arrive at the place of definitively knowing what is THE WORD OF GOD, we must be able to follow the path from “… holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost,” all the way to the Bibles we hold in our hands today.
As men and women dynamically concerned about Biblical research and teaching, we need to know and understand: What were the original languages of the Bible? What evidence sheds light on whether the New Testament was first written in Greek or Aramaic? How did historical events impact the writing of the Bible? How was the canon of the Bible decided? Why do some Bibles have more books than others? What is the Apocrypha? Why was it included in early Protestant Bibles? Should it be included in the Scriptural canon? What is the history behind the King James Version? What are the Dead Sea Scrolls? What is textual criticism? What exactly is a Critical Greek text? Why are there so many different English versions of the Bible? Which one is best? Are some better than others?
The Bible Through the Ages: From the Original Languages to the Present Day answers these questions and more. In so doing, the book fills an important gap in the knowledge of many believers, and better equips them to help others recognize and appreciate God’s matchless Word, the greatest of all His works.
