Modern Day Textual Criticism
By Brandon | April 26, 2008
Today I read an interview with Daniel Wallace, a prof at DTS and Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts. The mission of the CSNTM is to digitally photograph and document manuscripts of the New Testament. These fragile artifacts, some of which are over 1000 years old, are too delicate to be handled by all the scholars who want access, and are rapidly deteriorating. Dr. Wallace and his associates are digitally archiving these manuscripts to provide easy access for scholars, as well as retain these manuscripts for future generations. Last summer, they were able to discover about 34 new manuscripts that were previously unknown to Western scholars. They are doing a great work, and I am very interested in what they are able to discover this summer.
