Muslims believe that the Bible has been corrupted and redacted by later editors. This claim is an old one and many scholars who have held this view have had to fall on their swords in the past. The fact is that modern scholarship can objectively demonstrate that:

• We can be confident that the Greek New Testament has not changed from what was penned by the original authors.
• We can be assured that the contemporaries of the original authors received the plurality of the New Testament as the inspired word of God.
• History demonstrates that the earliest Christians held to exactly 4 gospels that we can identify as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
• The process of canonization and the recognition of which books were inspired occurred extremely early.

Muslims are taught that the Bible has been corrupted. The King James Bible is often marched out as the origin of the corruption of the English Bibles that we have today. This article explains how the English Bibles we have today are not dependent on the King James Bible. In fact, they are translated from a very ancient source.
