BA: Hello. This is Brian Auten of Apologetics 315. Today, I’m speaking 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 also influences students across the country through his textbook on intermediate Greek grammar, and it’s used in more than two-thirds of the nation’s schools that teach that subject. Dr. Wallace served as senior New Testament editor for the NET Bible and has founded The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM). The purpose of the CSNTM is to preserve the Greek text of the New Testament by taking digital photographs of all extant Greek New Testament manuscripts and that is found atCSNTM.org.
The purpose of our interview today is to find out more about Dr. Wallace’s work, his debates with Bart Ehrman, the reliability of the New Testament, and his advice for Christian defenders. Thanks so much for joining me today, Dr. Wallace.
DW: Thank you. I’m glad to be on the show, Brian.
BA: Well, first, would you mind telling our listeners just a bit more about yourself and the work you’re involved with The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts.
DW: I’m a professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary in Texas, and I have been teaching there about 27 years. I teach New Testament Greek.
I started The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts nine years ago for the initial purpose of photographing all Greek New Testament manuscripts in the world—that’s our initial goal—and then when we get that task accomplished, the next task is to try to evaluate these manuscripts, which we are doing right now—to try to analyze them and evaluate them to help us get back to recovering the wording of the original New Testament as much as humanly possible. «Continue reading at Apologetics 315»
