THE

CORRUPTIONS

OF THE

NEW TESTAMENT

BY H. L. HASTINGS,

Editor of The Christian, Boston.

Scriptural Tract Repository. London

ABOUT THIS BOOK:
"The Corruptions of the New Testament" was written in answer to the skeptics who claim that we have a corrupted, unreliable New Testament; written in answer to those who claim that many of the books aren't what they claim to be, and that the early church didn't even accept them. Though written 130 years ago, this book is engaging, interesting, informative, and worth reading.
Among its "features" is a list of every manuscript variance in the Sermon on the Mount, which shows just how insignificant the overwhelming majority of "variants" actually are.
Hastings also takes a tour through history, referencing the early Christian writers often to show that these books were accepted and used from a very early time.
