Whose Word is it? by Bart D Ehrman
Mistakes and changes abound in the competing manuscript versions that continue to plague biblical scholars who determine which words, phrases, or stories are the most reliable in modern Bibles. This book shows us where and why changes were made in the manuscripts, changes that have a dramatic impact on widely-held beliefs concerning the Bible.
