Gnosticism: The Doctrinal Foundation of the New Bible Versions

Description

Dr. Waite demonstrates that the Critical Text underlying modern Bible versions has its doctrinal roots in the ancient heresy of Gnosticism. He traces how Gnostic textual preferences, preserved in corrupted manuscripts from Egypt (particularly Codex Vaticanus and Sinaiticus), influenced Westcott and Hort’s reconstruction of the Greek New Testament and, through their text, all modern Bible versions. This is a provocative but carefully documented examination of the ideological foundations of modern textual criticism.
