New manuscript research is out, and it's really exciting! For anyone who cares about Christian apologetics, you'll want to know about this, because I think it could change how we talk about manuscripts of the New Testament. The research helps to show that we have enough useful data across the earliest manuscripts to be confident that the New Testament has been reliably handed down to us. Check it out!
This is a re-upload of the original version of this video with some corrections I inserted along the way. My sincerest apologies for the incorrect or misleading pieces of information I shared in the first release.
For another fun and relevant video on manuscripts, check out this video, where we examine the variants (differences) of manuscripts and why hundreds of thousands of variants shouldn't be as unsettling as some Christians are led to believe: youtu.be/ndtrFBvd_SQ
