The textual reliability of the New Testament is logically prior to its interpretation, foundational for the Christian religion. This book provides readers a fair, balanced case for both sides, allowing them to decide for themselves: What does it mean for a text to be textually reliable? How reliable is the New Testament? How reliable is reliable enough? Highlighted are points of agreement & disagreement between two leading intellectuals on the subject of the textual reliability: Bart D. Ehrman, James A. Gray Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill & author of the best-selling book Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible & Why, & Daniel B. Wallace, Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary & Executive Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts. The book includes a transcript of the Greer-Heard Point-Counterpoint event between Ehrman & Wallace that allows the reader to see in print how each presents his position in light of the other's. Contributions from an interdisciplinary team, including the following specialists in biblical studies, philosophy & theology, continue the discussion of the topic.
