Biblical languages expert answers questions about his recent trip to Albania

The executive director of Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, Daniel B. Wallace, recently made a trip to Albania to photograph some ancient New Testament manuscripts. The CSNTM was founded in 2002, with the goal of photographing and transferring all 1.3 million pages of Greek New Testament manuscripts, early translations of the New Testament, and patristic commentaries on the New Testament into print. Their early review of the recently photographed Albanian manuscripts have raise some more questions about a certain passage in the book of John. Christianity Today recently posted a new Q&A with Wallace about his trip and findings (read more).

Daniel B. Wallace (Ph.D., Dallas Theological Seminary) is professor of New Testament studies at Dallas Theological Seminary, director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, and senior New Testament editor of the NET Bible. He has written Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics: An Exegetical Syntax of the New Testament.

On the topic of textual criticism, one of Wallace's most recently published works is Reinventing Jesus: How Contemporary Skeptics Miss the Real Jesus and Mislead Popular Culture (Kregel 2006), which he co-wrote with fellow scholars J. Ed Komoszewski and M. James Sawyer. From the worldwide phenomenon The Da Vinci Code to the national best-seller Misquoting Jesus, popular culture is being bombarded with radical skepticism about the uniqueness of Christ and the reliability of the New Testament. Reinventing Jesus cuts through the rhetoric of extreme doubt to reveal the profound credibility of historic Christianity. Meticulously researched yet eminently readable, this book invites a wide audience to take a firsthand look at the primary evidence for Christianity's origins. Reinventing Jesus shows believers that it's okay to think hard about Christianity, and shows hard thinkers that it's okay to believe.
