Textual Criticism of the Bible provides a starting point for the study of both Old and New Testament textual criticism.

Complicated concepts are clearly explained and illustrated to prepare readers for further study with either more advanced texts on textual criticism or scholarly commentaries with detailed discussions of textual issues. You may not become a textual critic after reading this book, but you will be well prepared to make use of a wide variety of text--critical resources.

Do you believe that Jesus came to redeem all of Creation? Do you think Jesus loves animals? I do.
