Episode 20: Peter Gurry on How We Got the New Testament

"I love the Bible down to its finest details."

How do we know the New Testament is reliable? If there are so many manuscripts, each with their own mistakes and nuances, does our Bible contain what the authors actually wrote? Can I trust my Bible? On this episode, we ask these questions and more to Dr. Peter Gurry, a leading scholar on biblical manuscripts at Phoenix Seminary. Take comfort as you listen to Dr. Gurry's explanation of why we can, indeed, trust all we read in the Bible.
