Synopsis

<p><strong>Biblical Foundations Award Finalist and Runner Up</strong></p><p><strong>Since the unexpected popularity of Bart Ehrman's bestselling <em>Misquoting Jesus</em>, textual criticism has become a staple of Christian apologetics.</strong></p><p>Ehrman's skepticism about recovering the original text of the New Testament <em>does</em> deserve a response. However, this renewed apologetic interest in textual criticism has created fresh problems for evangelicals. An unfortunate proliferation ofmyths, mistakes, and misinformation has arisen about this technical area of biblical studies.</p><p>In this volume Elijah Hixson and Peter Gurry, along with a team of New Testament textual critics, offer up-to-date, accurate information on the history and current state of the New Testament text that will serve apologists and Christian students even as it offers a self-corrective to evangelical excesses.</p>
