Can we truly know the original words of the New Testament? With thousands of manuscripts, countless variations, and new methods like the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM) making headlines, many Christians wonder if certainty is possible.
This book provides a clear and trustworthy guide. Beginning with an introduction to New Testament Textual Criticism (NTTC), it explains how the text of the New Testament was faithfully copied, transmitted, and preserved. From there, it introduces readers to the CBGM—what it is, how it works, where it helps, and where it falls short.
Written for pastors, elders, teachers, and serious churchgoers, this book cuts through jargon to show why early documentary evidence—papyri and codices like P75 and Codex Vaticanus—anchors us close to the original text. It stresses repeatedly, but never needlessly, the most important points so that readers retain them with confidence.
The result is a practical, faith-building resource. By the final page, you will not only understand CBGM but also see why the New Testament you hold in your hands remains a reliable witness to the inspired writings of the apostles.
