Tvedntnes does a good job of simply reviewing how we got the bible. I especially enjoyed his section on printing errors in the King James Version because of the many many editions that were printed. I had to chuckle as I read about the "Adulterers Bible", the "Fools Bible", The "He and She Bibles" etc. He also makes a simple but interesting study of bible language and how it has changed.

A LOT of helpful information in one little book. Just ONE misunderstood word, whether mistranslated or through cultural diversion, changes everything.
