I just finished listening to three dozen half-hour lectures by Dan Wallace on textual criticism. They were masterful, absolutely superb. And they’re free online at Credo House.
Wallace is an engaging lecturer with incomparable (among evangelicals) direct experience with the study and practice of textual criticism. All Christians owe him a debt, even the crazy guy who once told me that the only thing Wallace’s grammar is good for is for target practice…
Wallace will educate you and increase your faith in Scripture, a faith he shares. He goes toe-to-toe repeatedly with Bart Ehrman and KJV-Onlyism in particular (left toe against Ehrman, right toe against KJVOs). Highly recommended.
Thank you for posting this, I started watching and reading about this subject, it is so easy to have a position on just trusting what your told, in or church in Colombia/South America we are changing our version of the spanish bible for 2019, your teachings on the evolution of the language and readability were helpful, thanks!
I’m glad to hear from you. Thank you for commenting. Language typically changes very slowly, but quickly enough that it can be noticed within a normal human lifetime.
