How We Know The Bible is Authentic

How We Know It’s Authentic The finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 has not only given scholars additional Hebrew Bible books which are much earlier than any extant manuscripts, it has also confirmed the validity of the previously found manuscripts. Comparing the Dead Sea Scrolls of Isaiah with the Masoretic (i.e., medieval) text reveals a 95 percent word for word identity. The remaining five percent of the variants deal mainly with a slip of the pen or spelling. The noted Yale professor, Millar Burrows, says that the Isaiah Scroll is very important for establishing the best possible text of the Old Testament. “Essentially it is the same as the book of Isaiah in our Bible, a voice from 2,000 years ago. Preserved in the wondrous providence of God, confirming the integrity of the Bible.”2
