Exactly who the authors to each of the books are, is unclear and disputed. It is also quite possible that multiple authors exist or that a community or group as a whole has compiled the text.

			Naturally, during the process of translation and copying, especially if it is done manually as it was, it makes sense that a variety of problems arise from this process of which spelling mistakes or variations are only the minor ones.


			The original text

			Most important to understand is the fact that the so called "original text"


			Selection of Books

			The word "Bible" refers to a specific selection of books, it is by definition an anthology. The individual books themselves are indeed part of scripture, but not all scripture is included in this selection referred to as the "Bible". To be exact, the Bible only includes 66 books, while Scripture holds much more. Who decided on these specific books? Men did, via different council's, predominantly the Council of Nicea, Council of Trent and other lesser Councils. Various groups do have their own versions of their specific "collection" and normally refer to their collection as the "approved canon", thereby meaning which books the specific group regards as part of their selection. Hence, not all "Bible's" are the same, but depending on the selection made by the specific group, the included texts will differ.

What exactly is the difference?

Examples of the Gospels:

We often say that we read in the "gospel of Matthew", however there is no such thing. Rather, it is the "gospel <u>'''according to'''</u> Matthew". The difference is quite significant, since we need to remember that these are eyewitness accounts and not made up stories. They were not written based on the imagination of a certain person, but rather based on the eyewitness account which reports on what such person has experienced.

Original authors:

Exactly who the authors to each of the books are, is unclear and disputed. In some cases it is also known that the books were not directly written by the one according to which they are named.

Language, Translations and copies:

Not only in our modern age today do we have various translations for the same text, neither is it new for each individual to desire their own personal copy. Already in the most early reported timeframe do we read that text was convered, copied and distributed:

1.) Josef was reading in some language

2.) Nebuchadnezzar
