Reported in this chapter is that the Aleppo Codex and the Leningrad Codex are the best Hebrew Manuscripts. But they date no farther back than to the tenth and eleventh centuries.

How We Got The Bible by Neil R. Lightfoot was an excellent introduction to the process by which the Bible has come down to us. Certainly a most important book for preachers and teachers but just as important for Christians in general. We all should have, at least, a basic understanding of how we got the Bible.
