Textual Criticism remains today as one of the most overlooked disciplines in Biblical studies. In this collection, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) teaches people from the lay to the scholarly level about the basic principles and practices of New Testament Textual Criticism (NTTC).

    Bad streaming
    Can’t watch it. It does not load and I do have a good connection. But with these series it is impossible, it keeps buffering and finally never loads.

    Solid Content from a World-Class NT Textual Critic
    How would you like to learn a skill or a subject from one of the world’s leading masters of that skill or subject? Learning NT textual criticism from Dan Wallace is just that. He is one of the world’s leading scholars of NT textual criticism, and his Center for the Study of NT Manuscripts has discovered more new NT manuscripts than anyone else in the world over the past decade or so. Dr. Wallace makes the arcane practices and procedures of NT textual criticism understandable to all. If you want to know why we can have confidence that the NT translations we read today are faithful to what the original authors wrote, then these classes are for you. Thank you, Dan, for sharing your insights in such a succinct and easily grasped presentation.

    Fabulous Introduction
    These short lectures provide a crisp introduction to New Testament Textual Criticism. They are thoughtful, logical and open up the body of knowledge and methods through history in a way that is easy to understand for the beginner. I am grateful for the rich knowledge of Dr. Wallace and the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts for making this material available at no cost to the learner, what a blessing!

    A pearl of great value!
    Was assigned Dr. Wallace's videos as part of my Hermeneutics coursework. I braced myself for dry, academic theory. Within the first minute I was feverishly taking notes and hanging on his word! A great teacher is one who makes you want to think about what he's teaching and go deeper... Dr. Wallace is an exceptional scholar and teacher. Please don't stop making videos!!!

    Excellent work!
    Great explanation on how scholars use evidence, reason and logic to reconstruct the most likely textual match to the original New Testament manuscripts. Anyone curious about the accuracy of today's New Testament text as compared to the orignal New Testament manuscripts should view thiseries.

    Wonderful!
    Thanks Dan for making your rich ministry available in such an engaging format. The work you do is a treasure chest that is now available to anyone who would like to experience it. What a wonderful way to combat the ignorance that movies like Da Vinci Code play on. Armed with this first hand understanding of what the art and science of textual criticism is, the informed Christian can disregard with confidence these high profile attempts to discredit the authenticity of scripture. Others have understood and practiced this discipline before. But you have used considerable effort and creativity to make this discipline accessible and understandable to so many. Thank you.

    Finally!
    I was glad to find this today! I have been approached by several people asking questions (on top of my own questions) regarding discrepancies in the Bible and Dr. Wallace articulates clearly and confidently issues surrounding this matter. These videos impressed me specifically in how they take very complicated concepts and make them more easily digestible. Keep them coming!
