This study is written as a general introduction to the subject of how the Bible has come down to us over the centuries.       It was prepared to give the average Christian a more thorough understanding of how God preserved the Bible and the great wealth of evidence that proves it is totally reliable.       This study will show that God has, with no omissions or errors, preserved the Word of God and we have it in complete form today.       The errors of the modern 20th Century translations will be noted and the superiority of the King James Version shown.
