The Complete Box Set Featuring Three Works by Author Erik Angus MacRae Presenting a Thorough Defense of the Textual Preservation of the Holy Christian Bible by Erik Angus MacRae Book Summary

This work features the full box set containing the three works of the "Debates of the Reliability of the Christian Bible" series. This is the perfect gift for any Christian looking to get into evangelism and apologetics, or for any non-Christian looking to hear a pro-Bible argument against the common narratives of the world.

The first book of the series, titled: "Refuting Julius Wellhausen's "Documentary Hypothesis" and Claims That the Biblical Literature Copied Directly From Ancient Polytheistic Works" features a comprehensive refutation of the famed Documentary Hypothesis theory of the late Julius Wellhausen, the theory which intentionally creates a late-date for the Christian Bible in order to hurt the perceived reliability of it - but it now faces incredible difficulties in the light of modern archaeological findings which are supporting the traditional dating of the Bible and defendings its reliability. After this, another objection is dealt with, the argument that the "Bible" and the religion it produces is a mere copy of the Ancient Polytheistic religions of the Near East, the argument that comes by nature as a result of the type of evidences used against Wellhausen. That too is refuted.

The second book which is titled: "Battle of the Gods; Comparing the Literature of the Judeo-Christian Deity With Polytheistic Works of the Ancient Near East" builds on the second argument of the first book in favor of the Biblical tradition. Portional quotations are drawn from the polytheistic texts and put alongside the texts of the Bible thus pitting the deity of the Judeo-Christian texts in a battle against polytheistic deities of the Ancient Near East. After this, documents drawing up a comparison of the law codes of the Bible and the law codes of the ancient polytheistic nations are summoned to the battlefield to further clarify the contrast of the two.

The third book is titled: "Defending the Manuscript Traditions of Biblical Literature and a Refutation of the Gnostic Gospels and the Islamic Gospel of Barnabas". It takes a very different route from the first two. To begin with, it establishes the history of the textual preservation of the manuscripts from which all our modern translations of the Bible draw. It explains the preservation process and its challenges, and provides examples of both Old and New Testament manuscripts, and explains the differing factors for both in regards to safeguarding the inscriptions since the methods for Old and New Testament are slightly different. After this, the third book deals with arguments from the Islamic community with reference to some of their own literature. Since arguments of the Gnostic Gospels and the Gospel of Barnabas are drawn, it looks at the tradition of these and contrasts the tradition of the Gnostic Gospels with the Biblical manuscript tradition proving the traditional Christian Gospels to be the older and more reliable witness to the life of Jesus and the meaning of His Words and Work.
