Verbatim Identicality: How God Actually Preserved His Word by Bryan Ross

[GraceLifeBible]

In this fascinating exploration of the printed history of the King James Bible, we're reminded of the incredible journey God's Word has taken to reach us today. The lesson centers on the period around 1660, highlighting the challenges faced in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the King James text. We see how human error, commercial interests, and political upheavals all played a role in shaping the printed history of the text. This story serves as a powerful reminder of Proverbs 30:5, 'Every word of God is pure.' Despite the mistakes and manipulations of printers and publishers, God's words have endured. As we reflect on this, we're called to appreciate the Bible we hold in our hands today, recognizing the efforts of countless individuals who strived to preserve its accuracy.
