Is the Hebrew Bible the real Bible?

A:

The ambiguity of this question hides its very ambiguity. The Bible, at least the Old Testament part of it, is the Hebrew Bible, and nothing else. We can discuss differences found in ancient manuscripts, and whether the Masoretic text more accurately reflects earlier books than does the Septuagint, but these are usually trivial matters. From this perspective, the Hebrew Bible most certainly is the real Bible.

Another perspective is whether the Hebrew Bible is divine truth, because the Bible ought to be truth, divinely inspired or otherwise. On this, faith says, "yes", while research says, "no." There are too many well-known historical and scientific errors in the Bible for it to be all-true. What about spiritual truth? That again is a matter for individual faith.
