The three largest discoveries of New Testament manuscripts in the last half-century are discussed by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM).

The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) sent a six-person team, in a four-week expedition during July–August 2013, and digitized all the Greek biblical papyri at the Chester Beatty Library. The CBL has granted permission to CSNTM to post the images on their website (www.csntm.org).

The primary goal of CSNTM, to preserve and make available ancient manuscripts of the New Testament, is elaborated upon by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) in an interview that was recorded for the Sky Network.

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace recounts photographing old fragments of Romans in majuscule script that had been re-purposed for a book binding.

Dr. Jeff Hargis discusses how CSNTM consults a book and now a website known as the Kurzgefasste Liste to determine whether a new manuscript has been discovered.

A famous verse to the practice of New Testament Textual Criticism (NTTC) known as the Comma Johanneum, 1 John 5:7, is elaborated upon here by Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM).
