Major English translations based on the Textus Receptus, such as Tyndale’s New Testament and the King James Version, have all these extra verses, phrases, and words. This book clearly presents these additions to English readers and then explains why they were added. Scribes often made insertions based on their knowledge of the other gospels, other passages of Scripture, Christian theology, and oral tradition. By understanding the sources and probable reasons for the insertions, students and teachers of the Bible can make informed translation and interpretive decisions. Philip Wesley Comfort, PhD, has been a senior editor at Tyndale House Publishers for the last twenty-five years. He has written two novels, three poetry collections, and over fifteen volumes on New Testament studies. He and his wife, Georgia, live in South Carolina.
