Podcast appearances and mentions of Daniel B Wallace

Join The Mustard Seed as they veer a little off their normal topics, Keisha and Elizabeth are going to go over a subject they are passionate about, Apologetics. We believe this is something that is relevant for such a time as this. Join them as they do an introduction into this topic, a general overview so we have a better understanding what Apologetics is, and moving froward we will go through some of the different parts of Apologetics in future shows, so we know we are doing it justice. We are excited to share this with you, and cannot wait for all the rest to follow.REFERENCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:GotQuestions.OrgConvincingProof.orgBooks we mentioned: Momma Bear Apologetics by Hillary Morgan Ferrer, Mere Christianity by CS Lewis, A Case for Christ by Lee Strobel, I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist by Frank Turk and Norman Geisler, and Talking with Your Kids about Jesus by Natasha Crain.Apologists Mentioned:CS Lewis, Dr. Voddie Baucham, Frank Turk, RC Sproul, Josh McDowell, William Lane Craig, Lee Strobel, Norman Geisler, and Daniel B. Wallace

     Almost anyone can be used by the Lord to communicate divine revelation. Even a jackass can be the mouthpiece of God (Num 22:28-30). Biblically, Christians are directed to “teach and admonish one another” (Col 3:16), which shows that all believers can teach and counsel one another with the Word of God. Of course, this assumes they've been “constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine” (1 Tim 4:6), are spiritually mature in their walk with the Lord (Heb 5:14), and can “speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine” (Tit 2:1). New believers are to “long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation” (1 Pet 2:2).      Throughout Scripture, God has used various persons to communicate His Word to others for their instruction and edification. God used mothers and fathers (Deut 6:6-7; Eph 6:4; 2 Tim 1:5; 3:15),[1] wise men (Prov 13:14), noble women (Prov 31:26), older mature women (Tit 2:3), prophets (Deut 4:1; 4:5; Eph 4:11), ruling officials and Levites (2 Ch 17:7-9; Neh 8:7-8), and priests (Lev 10:11; Mal 2:7; Ezra 7:10). In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul listed several communication gifts that Christ gave to His church, saying, “And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers” (Eph 4:11). This is a list of gifted men who are tasked by the Lord to provide education to Christians. Jesus gave these men to His church “for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature person, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ” (Eph 4:12-13). Christ gave these gifted men to His church to help Christians advance spiritually so that they, in turn, can serve others in their walk with the Lord.      In the New Testament, the apostles were entrusted not only with preaching and evangelism but also with instructing the early church in doctrine and Christian living. For example, the apostle Paul explicitly refers to himself as “a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth” (1 Tim 2:7). Paul's ministry involved extensive teaching, as he wrote letters to churches (e.g., Romans, Corinthians, Ephesians) explaining theological doctrines, correcting misunderstandings, and guiding the believers on how to live in accordance with God's will. According to Hoehner: "The apostles include the Twelve, who had the office of apostleship by virtue of being with Christ (Acts 1:21–22) and having been appointed by Him (which would also include Paul; 1 Cor 15:8–9; Gal 1:1; 2:6–9). But “apostles” also included others who were recognized as apostles, such as James (1 Cor 15:7; Gal 1:19), Barnabas (Acts 14:4, 14; 1 Cor 9:6), Andronicus and Junias (Rom. 16:7), possibly Silas and Timothy (1 Th 1:1; 2:7), and Apollos (1 Cor 4:6, 9). This latter group had the gift of apostleship but not the apostolic “office” as did the Twelve and Paul. Apostles, then, were those who carried the gospel message with God's authority. “Apostle” means “one sent as an authoritative delegate.”[2]      In the New Testament, prophets were not only those who received direct revelation from God but also served as teachers of His Word. Their role involved both the foretelling of future events (Acts 11:27-28; 21:10-11) and the forth-telling or proclamation of God's truth, which included explaining and applying existing Scripture. This dual function meant that prophets acted as teachers in the early church, helping believers understand doctrine and the teachings of Christ. The role of prophets as teachers is seen in passages like 1 Corinthians, where Paul said, “One who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation” (1 Cor 14:3), which were all aspects of instruction and spiritual growth. According to Chafer, “The message of the New Testament prophet is more one of forthtelling than of foretelling. He declares the message of God with exhortation and unto edification and comfort.”[3]      Prophets, by God's guidance, helped to build up the church, teaching what had already been revealed in Scripture while also giving inspired messages. Their role was critical before the completion of the New Testament, as they served as communicators of God's will and truth, similar to how teachers expound upon Scripture today. Hoehner notes, “New Testament prophets were gifts to the church to provide edification, exhortation, and comfort (1 Cor 14:3). They probably revealed God's will to the church when the biblical canon was incomplete. Since the apostles and prophets were foundational, they did not exist after the first generation of believers.”[4] Wiersbe states: "A New Testament prophet is one who proclaims the Word of God (Acts 11:28; Eph 3:5). Believers in the New Testament churches did not possess Bibles, nor was the New Testament written and completed. How, then, would these local assemblies discover God's will? His Spirit would share God's truth with those possessing the gift of prophecy. Paul suggests that the gift of prophecy had to do with understanding “all mysteries and all knowledge” (1 Cor 13:2), meaning, of course, spiritual truths. The purpose of prophecy is “edification, encouragement, and consolation” (1 Cor 14:3). Christians today do not get their spiritual knowledge immediately from the Holy Spirit, but mediately through the Spirit teaching the Word. With the Apostles, the prophets had a foundational ministry in the early church and they are not needed today (Eph 2:20)."[5]      Evangelists in the Bible were primarily focused on proclaiming the gospel and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, but their role also included teaching. Evangelists were responsible for bringing the message of salvation to unbelievers and helping new converts understand the basics of the Christian faith. In Ephesians 4:11, evangelists are among the list of communication gifts—or gifted persons—God has provided to His church. This shows that their role, like the others listed, was to build up and strengthen the church (Eph 4:12). Evangelists did not just preach a simple message of salvation; they would have needed to teach the foundational truths of the gospel and explain what it meant to live as a disciple of Christ. Philip the evangelist is a good example. In Acts 8, he not only preached the gospel to the Ethiopian eunuch but also explained the meaning of Isaiah 53 and taught about Jesus (Acts 8:26-34). When the eunuch asked Philip about Isaiah 53:7-8, we're told, “Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him” (Acts 8:35). Philip's role in that encounter included teaching, since he had to guide the eunuch in understanding Scripture.      Pastors and teachers, as listed in Ephesians 4:11, likely refer to one person who functions in two ways.[6] Hoehner believes “they refer to two characteristics of the same person who is pastoring believers (by comforting and guiding) while at the same time instructing them in God's ways (overseers or elders are to be able to teach; 1 Tim 3:2; Tit 1:9).”[7] Daniel Wallace is correct when he states that “all pastors were to be teachers, though not all teachers were to be pastors.”[8] Concerning pastors, Wiersbe states: "Pastor means “shepherd,” indicating that the local church is a flock of sheep (Acts 20:28), and it is his responsibility to feed and lead the flock (1 Pet 5:1–4, where “elder” is another name for “pastor”). He does this by means of the Word of God, the food that nourishes the sheep. The Word is the staff that guides and disciplines the sheep. The Word of God is the local church's protection and provision, and no amount of entertainment, good fellowship, or other religious substitutes can take its place."[9] Dr. Steven R. Cook   [1] The Mosaic Law instructed the parents, saying, “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up (Deut 6:6-7). The phrase, teach them diligently, translates the Hebrew verb שָׁנָן shanan, which means to engrave or chisel on stone. The verb is in the Piel stem, which makes it intensive (i.e., teach diligently). Here, the tongue of the parents is likened to a chisel they keep applying to their children's minds in order to engrave God's Word into their thinking (cf. Prov 6:20-23). Where and when was this activity of training to take place? Moses says, you “shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up” (Deut 6:7b). Sitting suggests times of rest, and walking speaks of activity. When you lie down suggests evening time, and when you rise up suggests the morning hours. These form a double merism which encompass of all of life. In this way, Deuteronomy is aimed at subsequent generations, that they might learn God's will and faithfully transmit it to their children, who will pass it along to their children, and so on. [2] Harold W. Hoehner, “Ephesians,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures, ed. J. F. Walvoord and R. B. Zuck, vol. 2 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1985), 634–635. [3] Lewis Sperry Chafer, The Ephesian Letter (New York: Loizeaux Brothers, 1935), 131. [4] Harold W. Hoehner, “Ephesians,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary, 635. [5] Warren W. Wiersbe, The Bible Exposition Commentary, vol. 2 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1996), 38. [6] The Granville Sharp rule, which is a Greek grammatical rule, states that when two singular nouns are joined by “kai” and share one article, they refer to the same person or thing. It is not likely that the Granville Sharp rule applies to this passage, since the nouns “pastors” (ποιμένας) and “teachers” (διδασκάλους) are both plural. However, it's possible that the “kai” (and) in Ephesians 4:11 could function as a hendiadys, which is a rhetorical device where two terms are used to express a single idea or a closely connected concept. In this case, “pastors and teachers” (ποιμένας καὶ διδασκάλους) could be understood as describing one group of people with dual functions. If this is the case, “pastors” and “teachers” would be expressing two aspects of the same role. This interpretation aligns with the idea that the primary responsibility of pastors (or shepherds) involves teaching and instructing the flock. This is reinforced by passages such as 1 Timothy 3:2, which states that an overseer (which would include a pastoral role) must be “able to teach” (διδακτικός), and Titus 1:9, which says that an elder must hold “fast the faithful word” so that he can “exhort in sound doctrine and refute those who contradict.” [7] Harold W.

How can we know that the Bible we have today is the same as the original if no original manuscripts exist?

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace is the Executive Director of Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (csntm.org) & Senior Research Professor of NT Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. His intermediate level Greek grammar is well known to students of Greek, but he has also written or contributed to numerous other works, such as (with Darrell Bock), Dethroning Jesus: Exposing Popular Culture's Quest to Unseat the Biblical Christ. After recalling the way his study of Greek grew out of his faith, he treats us to a close reading of the Greek language of one of the most important passages ever written. 

Making the Bible available to people in their own language has been the sacred task of scholars for centuries. In fact, 16th century English translator William Tyndale, whose work greatly informed the King James Bible about 80 years later, stated that his goal was to make a Bible that a ploughboy could understand.    Today’s translators, such as Dallas Theological Seminary scholars Dr. W. Hall Harris and Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, continue this responsibility. But today’s technology has allowed for a new approach used by these scholars in the NET Bible project that provides an unprecedented glimpse into the translation process. Their work gives an even deeper understanding and appreciation not only for this Bible translation, but of the decisions other translators have made, even back to the days of Tyndale.   In this episode of Bible Connection, Hall and Dan tell the story about the NET Bible project, and how key decisions were made to allow everyone to virtually look over the shoulder of leading biblical language scholars and understand the Scriptures more clearly.  Episode Links:  Bible.org Netbible.com Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts   Recommended Bible Resource: NET Bible  Ever feel lost in translation?

In anticipation for the 2017 #DownlineSummit we'll be talking with Summit Speakers. In this episode, Shad and Corey talk to Dr. Daniel B. Wallace; Senior Professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary.

Westcott and Hort revolutionized the way textual criticism is done. The most recognized Greek New Testaments today, the UBS 5th edition and the Nestle-Aland 28th edition, are largely derived from their text-critical methodology. One of their major contributions was the dethronement of the Textus Receptus from its place of primacy as the authoritative Greek New Testament. Westcott and Hort showed that the Byzantine manuscripts, which served as its primary texts, were secondary, late, and inferior in nature to other available manuscripts available. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) gives a biographical account of these two famous text critics, Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort.

The Textus Receptus (TR) is the Greek New Testament text edited by Erasmus of Rotterdam. This edition was the basis for the King James Bible, the Luther Bible, and other Reformation-era translations of the New Testament. In this video, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace from the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) walks the viewer through the history of the TR.

In this interview, Jeff Baldwin, Director of the Greek Bible Institute in Athens, Greece, discusses his role in educating evangelicals in Greece, his relationship with Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, and the importance of textual criticism in the process of Bible translation.

The three largest discoveries of New Testament manuscripts in the last half-century are discussed by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM). The discoveries include the uncovering of the “New Finds” manuscripts, the New Testament papyri housed at the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford University, and a discovery of manuscripts in Tirana, Albania discovered by CSNTM. Dr. Wallace also uses this lecture as an opportunity to discuss the practice of papyrology in recognizing New Testament manuscripts.

Dr. Wallace also elaborates on the practice of papyrology in recognizing New Testament manuscripts.

Bruce Metzger was one of the finest minds in New Testament studies in the twentieth century. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace celebrates his passing with a short tribute to Dr. Metzger that includes highlights from Dr. Metzger's career as well as two personal anecdotes from Dr. Wallace's experiences with this scholar's scholar.

Today's interview is with Dr. Daniel B. Wallace, professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary and an authority on Koine Greek grammar and New Testament textual criticism. He is founder of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts. He talks about his background and current work, photographing NT manuscripts, the current number of manuscripts, some of the most important manuscripts (and some great stories), his testimony journey into textual criticism, the trustworthiness of the Bible, the meaning of textual variants (how they are really counted, and what they affect), how he approaches apparent Bible contradictions, the doctrine of inerrancy, his interactions and debates with Bart Ehrman, comparing the popular vs. the scholarly Ehrman, "we don't have the originals!", determining the authorship of the Gospels, advice for apologists (great stuff), and do's and don'ts for defending the Bible. Visit CSNTM.org to assist his work. Enjoy.

In this video, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) gives an introduction to the practice of New Testament Textual Criticism (NTTC) with a focus on the definition of NTTC. Dan holds that NTTC is defined by its goal to recover the wording of the no longer extant original text, or autograph, from the available, but variant, existing manuscripts (MSS).

Compared to the manuscript attestation of classical texts and secular histories, the New Testament is attested to by an embarrassment of riches. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) describes the favorable situation of New Testament textual criticism based on the number and variety of texts where the New Testament is recorded.

The practice of New Testament Textual Criticism (NTTC) is given greater depth by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) through providing an introduction to the use of external evidence. The three types of external evidence, namely, date and character, genealogical solidarity, and geographical distribution, are used to determine the usefulness of manuscripts (MSS) such as Codex W, p66, p75, codex 1739, and codex 1582.

Evidence for the original text of the New Testament can sometimes be found within the text itself. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) discusses how intrinsic evidence that supports a particular reading of the text can be discovered through the literary decisions of an author or the transcriptional editing by copyists and scribes.

The combination of external evidence and internal evidence is used to resolve the textual problem that exists in Revelation 1:4. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) uses the basic principles of textual criticism, to choose the reading that best explains the rise of the other(s), to come to the conclusion that the author, John, intentionally made a “grammatical blunder” for the purpose of making allusion to the Old Testament passage of Exodus 3:14.

In this video, the methodology of New Testament textual criticism (NTTC) is applied by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) to Matthew 27:16-17. The manuscript evidence is scrutinized and certain principles are applied in the process, such as the dictum that the best reading is the one that best explains the rise of the other readings.

The textual problem found in Romans 5:1 reveals a textual variant represented by the subjunctive and indicative forms of a verb. A one-letter difference--between an omicron and an omega--determines whether the verse should be read, “let us have peace” or “we have peace.” Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) walks us through this issue.

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) introduces the critical discussion of variants by defining what counts as a variant in the New Testament text. Editorial marks such as punctuation do not count whereas such differences like spelling and word order do.

The right and wrong methods of counting the number of textual variants we have amongst the manuscripts of the New Testament text is discussed by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM). The wrong way to count them is to count manuscripts that have a particular wording. The right way to count them is to count each difference in wording regardless of how many manuscripts support them. This brings the actual count of textual variants to 400,000-500,000.

Not all variants are created equal! Dr. Daniel B. Wallace discusses the importance of giving proper weight to different types of textual variants within the Greek New Testament. The work of textual criticism is to give the proper value and meaning to variants that are both viable and meaningful, while taking into account the variants that do not make as much of an impact on the meaning of the text.

The classification of the New Testament Manuscripts by their contents is here discussed by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM). The manuscripts are split into four groups: the Gospels, the Pauline letters and Hebrews, Acts and the general letters, and Revelation. Dr. Wallace shows that there is a great disparity between the number of manuscripts that contain the Gospels and those that contain Revelation, and he explains why this is significant.

There is a fourfold categorization of the Greek New Testament manuscripts. These four categories are papyri, uncials or majuscules, minuscules, and lectionaries. This system of categorization is discussed by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM).

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) lists the different forms and versions in which the New Testament is preserved outside of the Koine Greek. These different forms vary from talismans and Greek ostraca to official translations in Latin, Syriac, and other languages.

A discussion of both the value of and the problem with using Non-Greek versions of the New Testament for the purpose of New Testament textual criticism is carried on by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM). Dr. Wallace shows how versions of the New Testament such as the Latin Version, the Coptic Version, and the Syriac Version are significant for recovering the original autographic text of the New Testament.

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) discusses the preservation of the New Testament in the patristic writings. While there are valuable benefits of having the New Testament in the church fathers – some 1 million quotes – there are a few problems that need to be kept in mind, such as whether a particular quote is an allusion from memory or copied from the text itself.

The earliest material used to record the New Testament on was papyri. Papyrus fragments are most often the earliest New Testament manuscripts available. This makes these the closest documents to the original documents of the New Testament. In this video, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace discusses the composition, use, and cataloging of papyrus fragments.

The discovery of P52, a papyrus fragment with the New Testament text, has had a tremendous effect on the dating of the Gospel of John. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace discusses how the previous scholarly dating of John was based on German philosophical conception, but the hard evidence provides more accurate support for an earlier dating.

Textual variants have had an influence upon Christian doctrine. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) discusses the impact of the variants that are both viable and meaningful to our understanding of a passage. Some texts are discussed – such as John 7:53–8:11 – where the importance may not be so much doctrinal as emotional.

Many do not know that there has been a development of writing instruments used throughout the history of the transmission of the New Testament. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) traces the development of writing instruments from the humble origins of reed pens all the way to the history changing creation of the printing press.

An historical account of the use of parchment in the history of the transmission of the New Testament is given by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM).  In this video, Dr. Wallace surveys the reasons for the use of parchment instead of papyri and the methods by which parchment came to be from animal skins.  Dr. Wallace also discusses interesting uses of parchment that rendered the creation of palimpsests of which a famous manuscript known as Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus belongs.

The use of paper as a writing material in the ancient world was created first by the Arabs. It was later traded by Arabian tradesmen into a European context. Paper was used as a material upon which the New Testament was transmitted. Paper manuscripts are much later in date than either papyrus or parchment. In this video, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) describes the history of the use of paper in the transmission of the New Testament.

In this video, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) applies the methodology of New Testament textual criticism (NTTC) to John 1:34. The passage concerns the confession of John the Baptist regarding whether he said that Jesus is “the son of God” or “chosen one of God.”

An audio presentation from Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM). Here Dr. Wallace discusses the qualities and criteria that must exist in manuscripts if we were to identify them as original manuscripts of the New Testament.

The story of the woman caught in adultery found traditionally in John 7:53-8:11 is one the most beloved and well-known stories from the Christian tradition. Many would go so far as to claim that these verses are their favorite in all of the Bible. However, in light of their popular embrace, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) shows how the evidence is almost overwhelming that these verses were not originally included in John's gospel. Strangely enough, the verses still remain in almost all of the modern English translations. Dr. Wallace gives reasons why they remain, and conversely, why they ought to be relegated to a footnote instead.

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) describes the decay of the most important NT palimpsest – Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus. Constantin Von Tischendorf and others have transcribed it previously, but the introductory verses to each book have faded. Multi-spectral and UV photography may save the red letters, but a chemical used 170 years ago to read the hidden text better has given the codex only a little more time to live.

The story of the discovery of Codex Sinaiticus in 1844 at Saint Catherine’s Monastery by Constantin von Tischendorf is detailed here by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM). Codex Sinaiticus is a 4th century manuscript that is the oldest complete copy of the New Testament in any language available in the world today. This manuscript is now housed at the British Library and can be viewed in its entirety online.

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) applies the methodology of textual criticism (NTTC) to a controversial passage, Matthew 24:36. Though the passage is often used to support the claim that parts of the New Testament were edited by proto-orthodox scribes, the evidence seems to indicate that it was the evangelist himself who created the variant.

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) talks about the nature of materials used in New Testament manuscripts. The ink used on manuscripts varied with the surface being written on, and in later manuscripts ink became more important in the artistic adornment of the text.

Meteora is a Greek word that means "suspended rocks." The breathtaking rock formations are just one of the many aspects of Meteora that make it one of the most beautiful places on earth. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) details a trip that he led in the summer of 2010 to one of the many monasteries perched upon the high rock formations at Meteora, the Holy Monastery of St. Stephen.

Jeff Baldwin is the director of the Greek Bible Institute in Athens, Greece. Jeff is one of the many friends of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) that help open doors for the photographing of manuscripts around the world. In this interview, Jeff discusses his role in educating evangelicals in Greece, his relationship with Dr. Daniel B. Wallace (director of CSNTM), and the importance of textual criticism in the process of Bible translation.

The experiences of a team from the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) during an expedition to the Monastery of St. John the Apostle on the Greek isle of Patmos is chronicled by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace.  Join the team as they journey into the monastery to photograph ancient manuscripts and share fellowship with the monks of the monastery.

The National Archive in Tirana, Albania was thought to be home to 13 Greek New Testament manuscripts. A team led by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace from the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) went to Albania to photograph these manuscripts, but upon arrival found that the archive is actually home to nearly 47 Greek New Testament manuscripts! Most of these had never been cataloged by Western scholarship.

Papyrus 115 (P115) has shown itself to be of great interest to the study of the Book of Revelation. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) details its significance as well as a few others to our understanding of the dreaded number of the beast. Was the number of the beast actually 666?

The University of Michigan is the house of approximately 1 out of every 6 Greek New Testament manuscripts. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) describes the opportunity and difficulty of photographing Codex 2364, affectionately dubbed "The Wee Beastie," due to its tiny size and beastly difficulty of photographing it.

A famous verse to the practice of New Testament Textual Criticism (NTTC) known as the Comma Johanneum, 1 John 5:7, is elaborated upon here by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM).  Dr. Wallace gives a brief history of this verse followed by an exposition of its discovery in Munich, Germany in the margin of an 11th century manuscript, Gregory-Aland 177. Making finds like this available to more scholars through the availability of high quality digital images is one of the goals of CSNTM.

CSNTM took a trip to Cambridge for their 6th trip of the summer of 2008. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) relates the story of the trip. Dr. Jeff Hargis, Jeff Miller, Andrew Wallace, and Dr. Wallace were able to stay at the Tyndale House, while photographing old fragments of Romans in majuscule script that had been re-purposed for book binding.

A team from the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) digitized manuscripts at the Monastery of St. John the Apostle on the Greek island of Patmos. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace chronicles the team's journey to this historic monastery.
