Description
A Scholarly Defense of the New Testament Manuscript Tradition
Christianity is based on the Bible. Today, the Bible is under attack on all fronts. However, these attacks are usually surface-level treatments of the topic put forth by those who don’t really understand the topic.
Dr. Daniel Wallace is arguably the foremost scholar today on the topic of New Testament Textual Criticism
For those who are tired of today’s church being so anti-intellectual and adrift at sea with no anchor, we ask you to get involved in reclaiming your mind for Christ. This study aims at turning the tides toward a new age of humble theological depth.
In this in-depth study, Dr. Wallace will devote more than 30 sessions, taking you through the rock-solid reliability of the New Testament. The New Testament is heavily attacked in our culture today. We don’t have a complete and staunchly reliable message about Jesus without the New Testament. This topic is crucial for every Christian.
