Professor Hugh Williamson presents the AIAS Richard D. Barnett memorial lecture for 2024.
He explores the complex history of transmission of the Hebrew Bible, from the Dead Sea scrolls, through to ancient translations into Greek, Latin, Syriac and Aramaic - asking the question - how accurate are the copies that we use today?
There is an introduction by Sarah Pearce, then the lecture starts at 13:17 minutes.
