SEMINAR ON THE “TRUE
TEXT”
THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS
AND THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE
By Dr. Michael J. Bisconti
We want it to be clear to
everyone that the “Seminar on the ‘True Text’” provides systematic instruction
in our groundbreaking work in Biblical
Textual Criticism and Biblical
Textual Calculus. (Reviewer’s
Note: In fact, Dr. Bisconti is the
“father of next-generation textual criticism,” the “father of next-generation
biblical textual criticism,” the “father of textual calculus” and the “father of biblical textual calculus.” Next-generation
textual criticism repudiates (rejects as untrue) much of the work of past
textual critics. Next-generation
biblical textual criticism repudiates much of the work of past biblical textual
critics.) More than forty years ago, we
started out from ground zero without any presuppositions or biases as to what
the “true text” would be. We did not
assume that the “true text” would be the Textus Receptus and the King James
Version of the Bible (in their appropriate, linguistic contexts; that is, Greek
and English, respectively). However, as
we state on our pages on BTCr and BTCa:
…reason dictated and we
were trusting God that things would work out the way they did.
In other words, before we
began our work, there was already circumstantial certainty that the Textus
Receptus and the King James Version of the Bible were the “true text.” As we say on our pages on BTCr and BTCa:
Circumstantial certainty
means 99.9999999999% certainty.
Therefore, we were far
more than reasonably certain that we would end up confirming the Textus Receptus
and the King James Version of the Bible as the “true text.” As we say on our pages on BTCr and BTCa:
We likewise have
made the circumstantial case. However,
again, that was not enough. Therefore,
we have taken the time - 40 years - to do what needed to be done…we have
confirmed that there is physical certainty that the Authorized Version
is the Word of God. Physical certainty
means 100% certainty.
