Check out Mark’s podcasts on this notorious and fascinating issue. One is an overview of the synoptic problem; the other is on the question of Marcan priority.
The New Testament Textual Criticism blog posted this link to Dan Wallace's course on the basics of New Testament textual criticism. It was created under the auspices of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM), Dan Wallace's non-profit. Here's the...
Faithlife TV has created a feature film documentary on New Testament manuscripts and textual criticism. It's hosted by Dr. Craig Evans. The visuals are stunning. The content takes on folks like Bart Ehrman (Dr. Evans has debated him a number of times) and their claims...
I decided to post something on this topic because someone recently sent me a post promoting (?) a particular view of "Q" and Matthean authorship that appeared at divinecouncil.org. That is not my website. Briefly, the website was promoting the work of New Testament...

Goodacre has an earlier podcast on which he disputes Troy Martin’s take on 1st Corinthians 11, and whether covering could be translated as testicle. Dr. Heiser, do you have any thoughts on his refutation?
Thanks for the plug, Mike. There’s one more to come in this series, or just possibly two.
@Mark Goodacre: good — it’s good stuff to think through.
@Jeremy Suess: I haven’t seen it – I knew he was reading one (I think at the international SBL last year). I’ll email him about it.
