We talk about: • How is the original text of the Bible reconstructed? • How many variant New Testament manuscripts exist and why is this not a problem? • What is the answer to skeptics referring to Bart Ehrman? • Why is the New Testament more reliable than many texts of antiquity? • Why didn't God preserve the original? • Who formed the canon of Scripture and how? • Why were some books (e.g., the Gospel of Thomas or the book of Enoch) not included? 👤 PODCAST GUEST Daniel Wallace is Professor of New Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary (PhD, Dallas Theological Seminary), Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, and Senior Editor of the NET Bible.
