In 1516, Erasmus chose a handful of manuscripts to produce the first Greek text (printed copy). He and others revised that text several times. It was the basis of the King James Version (1611) and, later, the New King James Version. In 1633, it was called the Textus Receptus, a Latin phrase meaning the \"received text.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century, two earlier manuscripts were discovered. The thousands of manuscripts of the New Testament that were known before that were dated from the fifth century and later. Vaticanus and Sinaiticus were from the fourth century and they had many differences from the vast majority of manuscripts. Because they were closer to the time when the New Testament was written, it was decided that they were more accurate reflections of the New Testament. All modern translations are based on those two manuscripts, including the ASV, RSV, NASB, NIV, ESV, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo complicate matters, in the latter part of the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century, the vast majority of manuscripts were edited to produce three versions of the \"traditional text.\" These are named the Majority Text, the Byzantine Text, and Family 35.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the \u003cem\u003eGreek Text Issue\u003c\/em\u003e, Michael Cocoris simplifies this complex subject, demonstrates the major differences between the five versions of the Greek text, and explains how this affects the major modern English translations. Regardless of your point of view, this material will provide information to help you understand the complex issue of the Greek text of the New Testament and which English translation should be used for serious Bible study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 338\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53376878641459,"sku":"9781948474290","price":35.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Jt6Qst-rOd9781948474290.webp?v=1779310443","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-greek-new-testament-issue-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
