On April 4-5, 2008,
Bart Ehrman and Daniel Wallace were the plenary speakers at the
2008 Greer-Heard Point-Counterpoint Forum. The dialogue
addressed pertinent questions in New Testament Textual
Criticism. Can the text of the New Testament be
trusted? Have the texts of the New Testament been
corrupted beyond recognition? Do we have any reason to
trust the preserved manuscripts of the New Testament?
