Has the Bible been kept pure? The Westminster Confession of Faith and the providential preservation of Scripture

Has the Bible been kept pure?  The Westminster Confession of Faith and the providential preservation of Scripture

By Garnet Howard Milne

Paperback, 324 pp.

This work presents readers with a thorough investigation into the Reformed and Puritan view of the preservation of the text of Holy Scripture, building its own argument in the course, to show that God's people at this day still possess the authentic Scriptures inspired by God.  Effectively, the author demonstrates that the increasingly common outlook of modern Presbyterian churches, which allows a measure of skepticism about this matter, leading to the use of the ESV, NASB, etc. is an outlook in conflict with the doctrine of the Westminster Standards.

Topics addressed include whether or not the Word of God translated should be regarded as the Word of God, and in what way the testimony of the Holy Spirit, in the authenticating of Scripture, relates to not merely the Bible as a whole, but the Bible in its parts.

Those who take interest in the Received Text, Edward Hills writings, or Dean Burgon's writings, will find this work of great value.

Others within the Reformed Churches, who are interested in the documentation of the support for, and opposition to, the Received Text, should also consider this title as a must-read.
