How the NT came to us

We had a brief discussion about how the NT came to us at the Hearing God's Word course last week. Here's a great interview with Daniel Wallace, one of the world leaders in the subject, complete with helpful diagrams and charts!

HGW course members might like to note Wallace's helpful pie chart showing that the vast majority of copying errors were completely insignificant, and so demonstrating how silly Bart Ehrman's comments about 'which Bible' really are. (If you don't know what I'm talking about here, have a look at Ehrman's interview with the BBC and Dirk Jongkind's reply. (Dirk is Research Fellow at Tyndale House, Cambridge, and helped me with my sabbatical studies)).
