Can We Trust the New Testament Text We Have? — Gospel Reliability | Session 4

Session 4 - Dr. Craig Blomberg | Historical Reliability of the Gospels

How many textual variants are there in the New Testament?
Does that mean the text is hopelessly corrupted?
And how much uncertainty is there in the Gospels, really?

In this session, Dr. Craig Blomberg introduces the basics of New Testament textual criticism and explains why big raw numbers can sound more alarming than they really are. By looking at the manuscript evidence, the number and nature of variants, and the actual effect those variants have on doctrine and history, he shows why the text of the Gospels is far more stable than many people assume.
