    What Christian Beliefs are Based on Textually Dubious Passages

    Textual variants have had an influence upon Christian doctrine. Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) discusses the impact of the variants that are both viable and meaningful to our understanding of a passage.

    Did the Son of God Deny His Own Omniscience A Look at Matthew 24'36

    Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) applies the methodology of textual criticism (NTTC) to a controversial passage, Matthew 24:36.

    My Favorite Passage That's Not in the Bible

    The story of the woman caught in adultery found traditionally in John 7:53-8:11 is one the most beloved and well-known stories from the Christian tradition. Many would go so far as to claim that these verses are their favorite in all of the Bible. However, in light of their popular embrace, Dr. Daniel B. Wallace of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) shows how the evidence is almost overwhelming that these verses were not originally included in John's gospel. Strangely enough, the verses still remain in almost all of the modern English translations. Dr. Wallace gives reasons why they remain, and conversely, why they ought to be relegated to a footnote instead.

    Does the Lack of an Erasmian Promise Vindicate 1 John 5'7

    In 1 John 5:7, there is a debated Trinitarian formula which proponents of KJV-only defend as original. But if Erasmus did not promise to include the formula, known to textual critics as the Comma Johanneum, does that mean the Trinitarian formula is closer to the original text? Bill Brown for the Center of the Study of New Testament Manuscripsts (CSNTM) suggests that the evidence from the manuscripts argues for an original text that does not include the Comma.
