This is a topic that has been debated for a long time, but philosopher (and even broadcaster) Alan Watts (1915-1973) had an interesting perspective on the unknown shadows of what really happened around the creation and preservation of the Bible as we know it today.
Watts website is alanwatts.org and is a great resource preserved by his son. I am in 100% support of that legacy, so I will point you there or to a number of YouTube videos you can find from him.
In this episode, we explore some of his observations about how the Bible came to us, and how we can pretty quickly jump to the true meaning of Jesus time on earth.
Enjoy the Journey!
