style="COLOR: black"> Muslims also believe that God revealed a holy book to
Jesus called the <I>Injeel</I>, some parts of which may be still available in
the teachings of God to Jesus in the New Testament. But this does not mean
that Muslims believe in the Bible we have today because it is not the original
scriptures that were revealed by God. They underwent alterations,
additions, and omissions. This was also said by the Committee charged with
revising <I>The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version)</I>. This Committee
consisted of thirty-two scholars who served as members of the Committee.
They secured the review and counsel of an Advisory Board of fifty
representatives of the co-operating denominations. The Committee said in
the Preface to <I>The Holy Bible (Revised Standard Version)</I>, p. iv,
“Sometimes it is evident that the text has suffered in transmission, but none of
the versions provides a satisfactory restoration. Here we can only follow
the best judgment of competent scholars as to the most probable reconstruction
of the original text.” The Committee also said in the Preface, p. vii, “Notes
are added which indicate significant variations, additions, or omissions in the
ancient authorities (Mt 9.34; Mk 3.16; 7.4; Lk 24.32, 51, etc.).”<BR>For more
