"Prior to printing many documents were copied not exactly. Those that read better, or satisfied their readers better were read more often and copied more often."

The Dead Sea Scrolls put that argument to rest! A scroll with the complete book of Isaiah was found in one of the Qumran caves and it contained essentially the same words that we possess today. This find confirms that the Septuagint was transmitted faithfully through virtually hundreds of copyings!

In addition, many fragments of the various Old Teatement books were found and these fragments also confirm that the Bible we have today was, in essence, faithfully transmitted over 2200 years!

The Septuagint version of the bible lives in the Othodox Church today. This version is over 2300 years old and despitre the hundreds of copyings and translations, we still have the essential text in Greek.
