Textus Receptus

The Textus Receptus is a Greek version of the New Testament that was compiled in the 16th century, primarily by Erasmus. It served as the basis for many early Bible translations, including the King James Version. The Textus Receptus consists of a collection of handwritten manuscripts and reflects the textual traditions available at that time. While it was influential in shaping Christian Scripture, modern scholars recognize that it's based on a limited number of manuscripts and has some textual differences compared to more recent critical editions. It remains historically significant in biblical scholarship and translation history.
