In the quest to understand the Bible’s enduring authenticity, skeptics often raise the specter of potential alterations by historical figures with agendas. This skepticism hinges on the belief that the scripture might have been susceptible to modifications by overzealous individuals across different epochs. However, when we scrutinize the historical journey of the Bible, particularly through the lens of manuscript evidence, early translations, and scholarly commentaries, a different picture emerges.
