[Ali Imran]

We know that the Bible has been translated into lots of different languages throughout the centuries. However, the text of the Bible has been accurately preserved all the way through.

Firstly, we've plenty of manuscript evidence, both partial or complete handwritten manuscript copies of the Bible, some dating as back as the 3rd century BC. These manuscripts have allowed textual critics and scholars to verify the fact that the Bible we have today is the same Bible the early church had.

Second, we also have the writings of the church fathers, or leaders in the early church. In their commentaries on the Bible as well as in their letters to other churches, these men quoted the NT Scriptures alone countless times. Their quotations have allowed scholars to reconstruct 99.86% of the NT. There are only 11 verses in the NT which the church fathers obviously never cited.

These two evidences - the manuscript evidence and the writings of the church fathers - verify conclusively that the original text of the Bible has been accurately preserved. You can be absolutely confident that God, who inspired the men to pen the words of the Bible, saw to it that none of the inspired writings were lost. All of the NT is equally inspired (a word meaning "God breathed") and is just as authoritative as the OT Scriptures. (a word meaning "writings) We'd be foolish to think that an all-knowing, all-powerful God could lose track of books He intended to put in the Bible.

Are you interested in the scholarships on the corruption in the New Testament? Or do you reject the notion of corruption altogether?
