God Has Preserved His Text!: The Divine Preservation of the New Testament (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997468694)

Wilbur N. Pickering is a Christian missionary living in Bras?ia, Brazil. He has a ThM and a PhD in Linguistics. Of those actively involved in NT textual criticism, no one holds a more radical view in defense of the inerrancy and objective authority of the Sacred Text. This includes the position that the precise original wording has been preserved to our day and that we can know what it is. This book marshals objective evidence in defense of that conviction. For some time Dr. Pickering has felt that among the many hundreds of Greek manuscripts of the NT known to exist today, surely God would have preserved the original wording. After years of searching and comparing such manuscripts, he has concluded that God used a certain line of transmission to preserve that wording. That line is by far the largest and most cohesive of all manuscript groups, or families. It is distinguished from all other groups by the high level of care with which it was copied (Dr. Pickering holds copies of perfect manuscripts, of that family's archetype, for 22 of the 27 books). It is both ancient and independent, and is the only one that has a demonstrable archetypal form in all 27 books. That archetypal form has been empirically, objectively identified by a wide comparison of family representatives, and it is indeed error free.
