  • Textual Confidence: This Pious Labor
    Aug 15 2022

    In the sixth episode of the Textual Confidence Collective we give you a tour of the history of New Testament Textual Criticism and the faithful men to whom it has been committed. Meet the church fathers who debated textual variants and the editors who produced our early critical texts. Peek in as we evaluate 1881 and the impact of the efforts of Hort and Westcott. Learn about cutting edge advances in textual methods today and important new editions of the Greek NT like the Tyndale House Greek NT (THGNT) and the Editio Critica Maior (ECM).

  • Textual Confidence: Materials and Methods
    Aug 8 2022

    In the fifth episode of the Textual Confidence Collective we show you the physical materials God has given us that support Confidence. Every good and perfect gift is from above. New Testament Textual Criticism is complicated by this wealth of materials. How are manuscripts classified? How many do we have? How do they get used? You need learned and faithful guides through this maze of manuscripts. Peter and Elijah take you by the hand, walk you through the materials and methods of Textual Criticism, and show you why you too should have Textual Confidence.

  • Erasmus and King James: The Real Story
    Aug 1 2022

    In the fourth and central episode of the Textual Confidence Collective we examine common myths that circulate about manuscripts and the origins of the TR and the KJB. It might even be the story you were told. Do all the manuscripts agree? How similar are the TR and NT manuscripts? Did the KJB Translators do Textual Criticism? We uncover the real history so the truth can set you free, introduce you to the men who created the TR and KJB, and give you their views in their own words.

  • Textual Absolutism: Its Theology
    Jul 25 2022

    In the third episode of the Textual Confidence Collective we examine the biblical theology of preservation. Hermeneutics matters. God’s promises matter. Theology matters. Join us as we examine the key biblical texts relating to preservation (like Ps. 12:6-7, Matt. 4:4, 5:18, and 24:35), expose their misuse, and then provide a theologically faithful exegesis of each in their contexts. We distinguish five forms of Textual Absolutism active today and urge resisting each, because we believe that retrieval of a biblically faithful theology of preservation is essential to the church’s health.

  • Textual Absolutism: A History
    Jul 18 2022

    In the second episode of the Textual Confidence Collective we gain respect for the history of Textual Absolutism and reflect on the story it tells. We examine the claims of “Two Streams of Bibles” culminating in the Textus Receptus (TR) and King James Bible (KJB), and introduce you to men in history who resisted the Textual Absolutism of their day, including creators of the TR and KJB. We elucidate Miles Smith’s biblical-historical argument against Textual Absolutism in the preface to the KJB and sketch out five forms of Absolutism active today that you should know.
