The Latest Textual Discoveries of the Bible (ft. Dan Wallace)

What recent discoveries have there been of biblical manuscripts? And what do they mean for the textual transmission of the New Testament. In this video, I talk with Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, one of the leading textual critics today. He is the CEO and Executive Director for the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM), and the author of multiple books on Greek, the historical Jesus, and textual criticism.

About 15 years ago, I was struggling with my faith. Some of the text critical questions were eating at me. In desperation, I reached out via email to Dr. Wallace with some questions. He called me and talked to me for hours. I will always be thankful for his life and mininistry.

Wallace is a hero. I hope he's OK. We're all getting older and breaking down, but...Grace Lord, grant your servant the vitality of a Moses or Caleb.

I love listening to Dr Daniel Wallace. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I find how we got our Bible incredibly interesting. So grateful for men like Dr Wallace and others who we will know their names.

Thank you Sean for hosting Dr. Dan and thank you Dr. Dan for being interviewed! This topic is beyond fascinating, and it never fails to thrill me how God has preserved his Word, and I am grateful beyond words to those who do research in textual criticism and the discovery and preservation of NT manuscripts.

Listened to Bart several times recently & noticed my faith in the Word was fading by knowledge. Listened to Bart & Dan debate last night & Dan established my concrete determination to dig into the Word again & not be critical but
to rely on my faith & trust in what the Lord reveals to me with confidence. Thank you Brother Dan!!!🥰🙏🏻

I love Dr. Wallace. His excitement for the topic makes me want to learn more!

There are gleaming gems of information throughout this. I love how detail-conscious Dr. Wallace is. It's so cool knowing how deeply and intricately aware God is of the invisible details. It's like God picked just the right human for this task☺️

It's amazing that the Bible is so well preserved!

[rolandovelasquez]

Wow !!! This man is a treasure. He never fails to amaze. Thank you both so much for the interview. I have seen Dr. Wallace so so many times but this is definitely one of the best. God bless you both in the Name above all names.

I’ve been following Dan Wallace’s work for years. He’s always has some really interesting things to say. He knows his subject well and he knows the Greek New Testament with astonishing detail! Thank you for this interview.

I just posted today's devotional on my personal page and I was so uneasy because as a new teacher I gave my first message encouraging my audiance to question the authority of the scripture as a Christian. I sited catholic, Mormon, and johova witness perspectives on the Bible compared to protestants. In all honesty I was uneasy knowing a decent chunk of my audiance is Mormon and catholic. While I was editing the video I recieved a push notification. Psalms 31:24 be strong in the Lord. I oublished it... this video released a few hours later 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I was as excited as a kid going to Disney land. THANK YOU BOTH!

Fascinating interview! I love hearing about these manuscripts and that there’s even more to study. I pray all their studies are blessed and that it brings further glory to God. ❤️

So glad you had Dr Wallace on. His stories are always so riveting. His work is so important. Please have him on again soon!

[davidhenderson]

What a blessing! It's so exciting to hear an expert in this area. It inspires greater confidence in the reliability of the New Testament.

This was a fantastic session. Thank you for having Dr Wallace on. It was fascinating.

[richardpetervonrahden]

Thank you for this interesting, calm and reassuring interview. Greatly appreciate the slow-burn but vital work that Dr Wallace and his team are doing.

Dr Wallace came to Perth Western Australia many years ago, invited by Trinity Theological College. He hadn’t realised he have to travel so far from the Eastern States of Australia to get here 😂 I attended his course and it was amazing. I will always remember what I learnt from him. Thank you Sean and Dr Wallace.

[davevoetberg]

Thank you for that question at 45:10. Dr. Wallace's "above the line/below the line" about the text of the NT is really helpful.

[MereApologetics]

I love his project. He needs to be more widely known!!!
