Textual Absolutism: A History

In the second episode of the Textual Confidence Collective we gain respect for the history of Textual Absolutism and reflect on the story it tells. We examine the claims of “Two Streams of Bibles” culminating in the Textus Receptus (TR) and King James Bible (KJB), and introduce you to men in history who resisted the Textual Absolutism of their day, including creators of the TR and KJB. We elucidate Miles Smith’s biblical-historical argument against Textual Absolutism in the preface to the KJB and sketch out five forms of Absolutism active today that you should know.
