Is There a Lost Bible?

In almost all these cases, the differences have to do with s i skipped over something in one text tradition. What we don't have is a hundred and three per cent of the bible. We have too much bible, because things have been accumulated throughout th transmission period. In terms of theology, there's no inherent contradiction here. Both judaism and christianity embrace the idea that god speaks people. It's through history and human processes that god has given his revelation. So at the end of the day, we're really on pretty good ground here for recovering the text of the Bible.
