The Battle for the Bible's Truth
Genesis 6, Jesus, and the Second Century Plot to Deny the Messiah
Book • 2026
Doug Van Dorn argues that influential second-century Jewish and rabbinical alterations to Old Testament texts systematically changed readings of passages like Genesis 6, Psalm 82, and Psalm 110 to weaken connections to Jesus.
He assembles evidence from the Septuagint, Dead Sea Scrolls, Masoretic Text, and rabbinic literature to trace how specific words and numbers were altered and why.
The book situates these textual variants within early Christian–Jewish polemics, including debates involving Justin Martyr and rabbinic responses.
Van Dorn contends these changes were deliberate and targeted to dispute the angelic interpretation of Genesis 6 and the deity of Christ.
The work combines textual criticism with historical analysis to challenge modern readings that deny supernatural elements in those passages.
