IV. TRANSMISSION OF THE t ext

No book of ancient times has come down to us exactly as it left the hands of its author--all have been in some way altered. The material conditions under which a book was spread before the invention of printing (1440), the little care of the copyists, correctors, and glossators for the t ext, so different from the desire of accuracy exhibited to-day, explain sufficiently the divergences we find between various manuscr ipts of the same work. To these causes may be added, in regard to the scr iptures, exegetical difficulties and dogmatic controversies. To exempt the scared writings from ordinary conditions a very special providence would have been necessary and it has not been the will of God to exercise this providence. More than 150,000 different readings have been found in the older witnesses to the t ext of the New Testament--which in itself is a proof that scr iptures are not the only, nor the principal, means of revelation.

Do they still believe that we Muslims when we talk about the distortion of the Holy Book, we fraud at them? Or when we say that what lies in the hands of Christians is not what was scribed by the disciples we become liars?! These are the Christian encyclopedia confirming the distortion of the Holy Book.
