The Way The Truth And The Life

Bridge to Babylon is the sequel to A Lamp in the Dark and Tares Among the Wheat. In 1881, two scholars named Westcott and Hort published a revision of the New Testament that would send shock waves through the academic world. Their new textual theory declared that the King James Version (which had been trusted for centuries) was full of errors. Sacred readings, long cherished by the faithful, were now declared to be forgeries. The world was informed that the book, which had been called the inerrant Word of God, was in need of correction. The new theory claimed that recently recovered manuscripts revealed a truer version of the original Scriptures. Yet others warned that the manuscripts in question were, in fact, the creation of early Gnostic heretics and had been rightly abandoned by the church centuries before. Was the new Revision now filled with ancient corruptions? Follow the story of the Bible's controversial history into the twentieth century, as the work of Westcott and Hort would transform biblical scholarship, inspire the work of various Bible societies, and pave the way for the cause of ecumenical unity between Evangelical Protestants and Rome.

Tares Among the Wheat will likely challenge what most scholars believe about Bible history, and the origins of modern Textual Criticism. In the 19th century, a revolution in biblical scholarship was prompted by the publication of a never-before-seen manuscript called Codex Sinaiticus. The work was discovered by a German scholar named Constantine von Tischendorf, who declared it to be the oldest Bible ever found. Yet shortly after his discovery was published, a renowned Greek paleographer named Constantine Simonides came forward and declared that the manuscript was no ancient text at all, but had been created by him in 1840. The controversy surrounding these events is, perhaps, the most incredible untold chapter in Bible history. It involves the Jesuits, the Pope, a high-minded German, a collection of Anglo-Catholics, and a mysterious Greek patriot. It is a story that (while quite true and well documented) a vast majority of modern academics know nothing about. Yet the subject matter dramatically impacts the world's understanding of biblical scholarship to this day, and the footnotes in your Bible are the proof of it. About the Director: Christian J. Pinto is the founder and director of Adullam Films, a Christian film company that produces documentaries from a Biblical world view.

A Lamp in the Dark is an exciting documentary that shows the intriguing history of the Bible. Enter into a world of saints and martyrs battling against spies, assassins, and wolves in sheep's clothing. Through the Middle Ages, the popes and Inquisition forbade biblical translation, threatening imprisonment and death to those who disobeyed. Learn the lives of men like John Wycliffe, Martin Luther, William Tyndale, Myles Coverdale and others, who hazarded their lives to communicate the Bible in languages people could understand. With the Fall of Constantinople, ancient Greek manuscripts came into Europe, and with them, the clear streams of understanding that would bring about the Protestant Reformation. But what is little known is that Rome launched a Counter Reformation with the intent of destroying all the works of the Reformers. Could this be the key to the "untold" history of the Bible? And is it possible that this ancient war on the Word of God continues to this day? About the Director: Christian J. Pinto is the founder of the Adullam Films Christian film ministry, whose documentaries focus on Bible prophecy and its fulfillment in history past and present. His past previous films have won 4 Telly Awards and received top honors at New York and Los Angeles film festivals.
