• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The third of the series "Debates of the Reliability of the Christian Bible" produced by author Erik Angus MacRae in September of 2020, this work takes on the question of whether or not the Christian Bible is reliable by endeavoring in a thorough explanation and examination of the Judeo-Christian textual preservation traditions. It describes both the preservation methodology of both the Old and New Testaments and how they differ from one another, and identifies numerous texts of extant manuscripts from which our modern translations of the Christian Bible draw. Bringing up a lecture by Daniel Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, the process of textual criticism is explained, and the nature of the textual variants existing in the New Testament manuscripts are described with an open and honest view. After this, arguments from the Islamic community are addressed; issues are pointed out in the way of inconsistencies between contemporary Islamic arguments about the preservation of the biblical text and Quranic quotations that weaken that report, and building on the case refutations are made towards both the Gnostic Gospels, and the Islamic Gospel of Barnabas, and the authority of the Judeo-Christian literature of the Holy Bible is soundly defended.

Autorenporträt

Born Erik MacRae to Richard Warren and Valerie MacRae, the author has spent his whole life in the region of Ontario, Canada and grew up in Scarborough. Growing with a troubled childhood, and uncertain of what to make of his future Erik would face numerous bouts of depression, anxiety and escapism in his life until becoming a Christian and gaining a more thorough understanding of the literature of the Holy Bible of Christianity which gave him a sense of meaning and purpose and ultimate destiny. Erik has been through multiple denominations of the Christian faith with exceedingly different doctrinal stances, first beginning his journey in a Baptist-Calvinist Church, where he learned the basics of Christ for about seven years. After this he would become involved on studies in the Hebrew Roots movement, but later defected to a more biblically-oriented messianic congregation. Finally, he would identify as non-denominational and serve in discussions with numerous Christians of all denominations. He is very zealous for defending the authority and legitimacy of the biblical text and its core dictates.

Throughout his informational journeys he has studied the work of the Minnesota pastor Daniel Joseph of Corner fringe Ministries closely for over 3 years and numerous topics pertaining to apologetics. Fancying himself an apologist at heart, Erik carries a great passion for "equipping the sheep" of the Christian faith through education to defend their Faith, and for aiding the non-Christian in understanding the complex and numerous evidences that point to the reality of God and His Person in the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and His Word as the Scripture of the Holy Bible. He has a deep interest in Christian philosophy, Biblical archaeology, and comparative studies, and for bridging denominational gaps through discussions of differences.
