Uniqueness & Total Accuracy of the Masoretic Hebrew/Aramaic Text
by Dr. L. Bednar
The accuracy of the Hebrew/Aramaic Masoretic Text is very improperly criticized by modern scholars. They often speak of copyist error in the text that, if true, would deny preservation of inerrancy. Actually they simply fail to understand the various unique features of the language, especially the poetry, and they miss some interrelationships of some books, and they also don't appreciate the unique history of the text. All such error seems to result from the skeptical-type of scholarship being taught in modernist bible colleges and seminaries these days.
