Rebooting the Bible tells the shocking story of a second-century rabbinic conspiracy altering the words of the Bible to thwart the massive conversion of Jews to the Christian Gospel. The alterations sought to obscure the Messianic prophecies - concealing the case they set forth that Jesus of Nazareth is the Jewish Messiah. In addition, this provocative book presents extensive evidence that this conspiracy cut out 1,600 years from biblical chronology, thereby compressing crucial events in Genesis (e.g., the Flood and the Tower of Babel) into a much-reduced timeframe harming the Bible's witness regarding the ancient history of the world. Its in-depth research identifies surprising yet substantiated dates for the birth of Abraham, the duration of the Egyptian enslavement, the timing of the Exodus, the Conquest of Canaan, the obscure period of the Judges, and the completion of Solomon's Temple. In so doing, Rebooting the Bible, identifies a much earlier timeline for these foundational events revealing the correct dates the untainted Bible reveals. The book explains how the Greek Old Testament was created in Alexandria, Egypt from 280 BC to 130 BC, and why it consistently provides a more authentic rendering of the original Hebrew Bible (the "autographs") than the Hebrew Bible of today. Because the Old Testament (the Hebrew Bible) as well as the Protestant Bibles (e.g., the King James Bible, the New International Version, New American Standard Version, etc.) are based on the Masoretic Text behind the Hebrew Bible, the power of the original prophecies as presented in the Old Testament have been compromised. Rebooting the Bible makes the case for why the Protestant and Catholic Church must include readings from the Septuagint to rediscover the original wording of the Bible. Finally, Rebooting the Bible supports the position that Egyptology and Mesopotamian Archeology can be better reconciled with the biblical text of the Septuagint, overcoming typical objections to its truth, strengthening the case for the Christian faith, and establishing the inspiration of the Bible.

As part of the book, he discusses biblical chronology. A old hobby horse of mine. He discussed possible corruptions in the Masoretic Text (MT) over the Septuagint version (LXX). He points out that the New Testament authors seem to reference the LXX, not the MT.
This last is covered a lot and in detail in chapter four. But, Woodward is partly disingenuous here. He quotes the ESV version of the Bible for the New Testament, then the LXX (in the Brenton translation), but then he gives the Old Testament reference in the King James Version (KVJ). Why is this disingenuous? Because the KJV is from 1611! If you read the ESV Old Testament for the verses he cites, they often do match. He should have referenced the KJV in both the New and Old Testaments for his comparisons. But, there definitely are some verses that seem messed up in the Masoretic Text when you compare them to the New Testament, and the Septuagint does seem better. Like, for instance, Deuteronomy 32:43 referenced in Hebrews 1:6. Here the Septuagint seems better than the Masoretic. Did somebody fiddle with the text? And why?
Woodward says yes, without ever giving any proof, just some ancient accusations and circumstantial evidence. His conclusion, the LXX is better, thus it's chronogenealogies in Genesis 5 and 11 must be better. So, then he comes up with a new chronology of the Bible. He places the Exodus at 1628 B.C., fits it up to David Rohl's conclusions on the Exodus (without buying any of Rohl's redatings or other assertions, it seems). The Flood for him is 3360 B.C. and the Creation is 5616 B.C. (p. 226, fig. 53).
Okay. But, his devotion to the Septuagint seems hit or miss. For instance, Woodward cites Ezekiel 4:1-5 to determine that the Kingdom of Israel (after Solomon's United Israel split into Judah and Israel) must last 390 years. He thus says you add 390 to 586 B.C. (the fall of Jerusalem to Babylonia) and you get 976 B.C. for the death of Solomon. "390 days, equal to the number of the years of their punishment" for Ezekiel 4:5 in the ESV. But, but, BUT! The Septuagint—his vaunted LXX!—has only 190 years here! Ezekiel 4:5 in Brenton's LXX translation has: "for a hundred and ninety days: so thou shalt bear the iniquities." Uh-oh!
There are other issues with his chronology. Accept the MT Ezekiel 4:5, for instance, but not the MT or LXX years at I Kings 6:1 for the period between the Exodus and the start of the building of the Temple by Solomon. The MT has 480 years, the LXX 440 years. Woodward claims 594 years (p. 193, fig. 41). Well...
There are other issues too with the book. It needs an editor. There are formatting issues, typos, messed up references. He goes off on tangents, tells jokes, is long-winded. He follows no citation format, and sometimes they are messed up to the point of annoyance. He is in dire need of an editor. But, you can get the point of his text. I am interested in his ideas. Perhaps others have done it better. See the works of Jeremy Sexton and Henry B. Smith, for instance, on the LXX. (
