The matter of scribal traditions and textual variants which entered into the biblical text as it was copied, are outlined and discussed, showing the methods used to determine the original text which gave rise to such variants. After detailing the process of canonization for both the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and the Apostolic Scriptures (New Testament), the history of the English Bible is presented.
