There had always been a challenge from Roman Catholicism, but this challenge came from men who were officially Protestants: Church of England Bishop Brooke Foss Westcott and Cambridge University Professor Fenton John Anthony Hort.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 10px\" class=\"body\">The heart of the Wescott and Hort theory was that the New Testament was preserved in almost perfect condition in two Greek texts, the Vaticanus and the Sinaticus. Sinaticus was discovered in a wastebasket in St. Catherine\u2019s Momentary (near Mt. Sinai) in 1844 by Constantin von Tischendorf. The Vaticanus was found in the Vatican library in 1475 and was rediscovered in 1845.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 10px\" class=\"body\">The King James New Testament was translated from a different family of Greek texts. To Westcott and Hort, the King James Bible was clearly an inferior translation. It must be replaced by a new translation from texts that they considered to be older and better. They believed that the true work of God in English had been held back by an inferior Bible. They determined to replace the King James Bible and the Greek Textus Receptus. In short, their theory suggests that for fifteen hundred years the preserved Word of God was lost until it was recovered in the nineteenth century in a trash can and in the Vatican Library.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 10px\" class=\"body\">Hort clearly had a bias against the Textus Receptus, calling it &#8220;villainous&#8221; and &#8220;vile&#8221;. Hort aggressively taught that the School at Antioch (associated with Lucian) had loosely translated the true text of Scripture in the second century A. D. This supposedly created an unreliable text of Scripture which became the Textus Receptus. This was called the Lucian Recension Theory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 10px\" class=\"body\">Hort did not have a single historical reference to support the idea that such a recension took place. He simply theorized that it must have taken place. In spite of the fact that there is not a single historical reference to the Lucian Recension, many Bible colleges teach it as a historical fact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><!----><\/section>\n<p><!----><!----><!----><\/main><!----><\/p>\n<div><!----><!----><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=G-DDT1T4M0M1\" data-rehype><\/script><script data-rehype>\n  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];\n  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}\n  gtag('js', new Date());<\/p>\n<p>  gtag('config', 'G-DDT1T4M0M1');\n<\/script><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn about the Westcott and Hort theory and its influence on modern text critics in biblical scholarship.
