Summary:
"Although it was written thousands of years ago, the Bible continues to fascinate and guide readers today. The Journey from Texts to Translations explains how the Bible that we use came to be in its present form. In five parts, author Paul Wegner introduces the Bible and its arrangement, describes how the various books were collected into a single canon, examines how the Bible was passed from one generation to the next, explores how and why early versions were produced, and discusses the myriad of English translations."--Page 4 of cover.
