Excerpt from The Chaplain, Vol. 9: September-October, 1952To understand how the new is older, it is enough to be told that the King James translators used an edition of the Greek New Testa ment based on only eight medieval Greek manuscripts, whereas the present translators have access to about 4500 Greek manuscripts, 200 of which are really ancient. The past eighty years have been called the Age of Discoveries in Bible lands. For example, the Isaiah scroll rescued from a cave near the Dead Sea in 1947 appears to date from the late second century b.c., and this has become the basis for thir teen readings in the Revised Stand ard Version of Isaiah.Parallel passages on pages 4-5 show the major types of revision.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
