Can We Trust the Bible? The Dead Sea Scrolls, Ancient Manuscripts & 2,000 Years of Evidence

Can we actually trust the Bible we have today? Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient biblical manuscripts, scribes, the biblical canon, William Tyndale, the Gutenberg Bible, the King James Bible, and thousands of years of textual transmission tell an incredible story. For the first episode of Broadcasting Seeds: The Second Incursion, Bennett Tanton traces the physical and historical journey of the Bible from ancient scrolls to the book—and app—you can open today. We begin near the Dead Sea, where the discovery of ancient scrolls at Qumran gave scholars biblical manuscripts more than a thousand years older than many previously available Hebrew copies. From there, we follow the story through: • Stone tablets, leather scrolls, papyrus, parchment, and the codex • Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Latin manuscripts • The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Great Isaiah Scroll • The Masoretic scribal tradition • Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus • How the Old and New Testament canons developed • The Septuagint and Jerome's Latin Vulgate • John Wycliffe and the struggle for an English Bible • Johannes Gutenberg and the printing revolution • William Tyndale and the price he paid for translating Scripture • The creation of the King James Bible • Modern Bible translations • The continuing effort to translate Scripture into languages around the world Was the Bible repeatedly rewritten? Was Scripture changed through thousands of years of copying? Did church councils simply decide which books belonged in the Bible? And what happened to writings that weren't included? This episode examines those questions through the history of the manuscripts themselves. This is Broadcasting Seeds: The Second Incursion—a channel examining the biblical world through Scripture, ancient texts, Second Temple Jewish literature, archaeology, history, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Divine Council, the Watchers, Nephilim, giants, rebellious spiritual powers, and traditions surrounding the biblical story.
