The New NA28 and the Preservation of Scripture

Dr James White posted the following video discussing the importance of critical textual publications of the New Testament. I agree with him that we should really want to know what original text of the Old Testament said. I also agree with him that we have enough lines of transmission over a large period of time over large geographical areas that we can know what the autographs contained.

WWF - Bible Style

Dr Mariottini has begun a series of articles unpacking Genesis 32:22-30 where Jacob experienced God in a  very unique way. He wrestled God.  I think everyone should read the passage and Mariottini's articles because he brings up questions I never really considered before. God said that Jacob won the match. What does that mean? What did Jacob win? Did God take a dive? What? The article is great for considering such questions and more. It's a great example of what exegesis is supposed to look like. Read the articles at the following links.

There is now a book where all events found in the 4 gospels have been placed in chronological order. I've seen similar books but nothing exactly like this project.

Scholar Dan Wallace on Podcast

Image via Wikipedia

Yesterday, Dan Wallace was a guest on James White's Podcast The Dividing Line. Wallace is a scholar and author who studies and teaches about the New Testament. I enjoyed the program and their interaction. Wallace wrote one of the best textbooks for learning Kione Greek, the languages of the New Testament. He is considered an expert in textual criticism and the history behind the New Testament. The most interesting thing about the program I found was watching Dr. James White interacting with a peer. It was fun to hear them actually respond to the ideas and challenges raised by experts who disagree with them like Bart Ehrman. People are mistaken if they think that neither side is aware of the other and don't have good reasons why they hold the views they hold. You can read the blog post where the program is posted here.
