Great book

The title of this book drew me in, and I was glad to have read it. Although some people claim that it is not possible for there to be errors in any translation of the Bible this book discusses the study of different manuscripts and the different texts they contain. The author formerly believed that the bible was infallible but now studies the versions academically. I had previously heard about the mistranslation of the statement that it is easier for a camel to pass through the head of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven (the words for camel and a thick kind of yarn were very similar) so I was eager to learn about other possible differences. I found this book to be very informative.
