Masoretic Text versus Septuagint
Guests: Doug Sharp, Rich Geer, Jeff Conklin,Derek Marshall
Description: Those who believe in the Biblical chronology in the Old Testament piece can together a timeline from the beginning in Genesis to the birth of Christ, and depending upon the original manuscripts used, different results are reached. The challenge is to determine which text may have been corrupted or changed, and the reasons why. Most Protestants rely on the Masoretic text as the authority, but some argue that the Septuagint dates solve some problems, especially with reconciling with secular Egyptian chronology. These issues are discussed in this program.
