![]() One position holds that there is no need for any textual criticism, while the other position believes there is no hope of finding the original text. When we look at the subject of the textual criticism of the Bible, we find two extreme positions that are sometimes held. There Are Two Extremes with Respect to Textual Criticism of the Bible Therefore, textual criticism is not criticizing the Bible.īecause no originals exist of the sixty-six books of the Bible, textual criticism must be applied to Scripture to reconstruct the true text. Textual criticism collects and examines the evidence about written works in an attempt to recover the original text. Rather, the term is used with the idea of weighing and evaluating the available evidence to come up with the original wording of a text. While the word, “criticism” usually carries the idea of finding fault with something, this is not the case here. The science of attempting to reconstruct the text of documents is known as “textual criticism.” The person who practices textual criticism is known as a textual critic. Textual Criticism-the Art and Science of Recovering an Ancient Document Before we can begin to interpret these works, we must first of all determine what they originally said. The texts that have survived are copies separated from the autographs by hundreds and in some cases, thousands of years. The only things that have survived are manuscript copies of ancient works. ![]() With rare exceptions, the originals of ancient works (also called the autographs) have been lost. In fact, the word, “manuscript” comes from the Latin word meaning, “something that has been written by hand.” Handwritten documents are called manuscripts (abbreviated mss.). ![]() The Originals of Most Ancient Writings Have Been Lostīefore the fifteenth century, all books were produced by hand. A number of important points need to be made: This, however, is not the case with works written before the invention of printing in the fifteenth century. Consequently, we can be confident that the printed form of the work accurately represents the author’s original writing. The work is produced under the supervision of that author. Today, a book is printed from a text that has been written by the author.
