Introduction to the Greek New Testament

Description

The most striking differences between modern translations of the New Testament are not the result of differences between manuscripts but of differences in translation philosophy. Still, scholars are working hard combining all the knowledge gained from old and new manuscript discoveries to produce the best possible text of the Greek New Testament that underlies our translations. This talk introduces the Greek text of the New Testament and Tyndale's 2017 edition of the text, as well as some of the tougher questions such as 'Why not use the Textus Receptus?' and 'Why did God not preserve the original manuscripts?'
