Is The "World's Oldest Bible" A Fake?
by
David W. Daniels

Why are there so many Bible Translations? What texts did they use for the translation and can they be trusted? This book is a tell all.

Is The “World’s Oldest Bible” A Fake by David W. Daniels published by Chick Publication (c) 2017. Page Count: 347

Daniels hits it out of the park with this deeply researched book on the Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Vaticanus, and the Codex Alexandrinus. He explores the origin of each manuscript.

The delves into the individuals that were on the committees for the translation of the manuscripts and the reason for it. Manly P. Hall has a direct link to the Codex Sinaiticus, which he proves through recorded documentation. I was skeptical at first, but then when you look at the several photographs that are throughout the book, you begin to wonder, what in the world is going on?

He readily admits that all the information that he has is available online. You can view the Codex Sinaiticus online at www.codexsinaiticus.org.

He talks in depth about those changes that were made in the manuscripts used to translate the modern versions that we have today. There is also a testimony of Kenneth Taylor who wrote the Living Bible said at a conference, and I quote a little excerpt from the book: “He went on later to say, to whisper, how he had lost his voice after doing the Living Bible. And with his own mouth I heard him say, “That may have been God’s judgment for me tampering with His words.””

Judgment waits for all those that tamper with His words.

Daniels gives a history of Constantin Tischendorf, Constantine Simonides, and Emperor Constantine. There are so many people that he talks about: Origen, Eusebius, Erasmus, Aland, Nestle, and Westcott and Hort. All of these he talks about. Erasmus is the only one that doesn’t get a bad rap. All the others, well, let’s just say they are smiled upon.

Daniels never comes off as being harsh, but it may appear that way. He lays out the evidence, not supposition. Then he makes an accusation after the evidence has been presented. You be the judge.

The Professor’s Commentary

I enjoyed the book immensely. There is so much information, that I will have to go back and read it again. It may be surmised after the reading that I thought Daniels could be labeled a KJV-Onlyist, but that is not what he is. He believes that the manuscripts used to translate the KJV are the preserved Word of God. There were no scribal errors as they copied the Word of God throughout the millennia. God preserved His Word through the instrumentality of man. If you don’t like it, well go study it out for yourself, just like the Bereans did in the book of Acts.

I highly recommend this book. He has written 18 books in all. I have read several of them and this one is the icing on the cake. Thank David Daniels for bringing these things to light. 5 out of 5 Stars
