The Bible is the most influential book ever written. The story of the preservation of that book, the most recent of portion of which is now nearly two thousand years old, along with the story of the translation of that book into English is a fascinating tale that every Christian should know about. As part of that effort, I've put together a four hour class that utilizes PowerPoint and life-sized facsimiles of the actual acient texts in order to demonstrate the incredible accuracy of our modern Bible translations with respect to the original Hebrew and Greek texts. At some point in the future, as I continue to teach this series and smooth out its rough edges, it will be videotaped and be made available; for now, the PowerPoint slides are here for anyone to utilize.

Along with the PowerPoint, I've created a flow chart of Bible manuscript history to help people visualize the process. The graphics for this chart were created by Pastor Scott Woodlee, one of my fellow pastors here in Franklin at the Alliance Church, and the guy who tried to teach me Hebrew.
