Greek grammarian and manuscript hunter
Wallace wrote Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics, the standard intermediate Greek textbook in seminaries across the English-speaking world. He also founded the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM), which travels to monasteries and libraries worldwide to digitally photograph Greek manuscripts before they deteriorate — work that has already preserved hundreds of thousands of pages.
He has debated Bart Ehrman repeatedly on textual reliability. His summary of the actual state of the evidence is the one to remember: yes, there are hundreds of thousands of variants across the manuscripts; the overwhelming majority are spelling and word-order differences invisible in translation; fewer than one percent are both meaningful and viable; and no cardinal Christian doctrine rests on any contested passage.
The nature, structure, origin and authority of Scripture — what the Bible claims about itself, how it is put together, and why those claims hold up under scrutiny.
The internet says Jesus was copied from Horus, Mithras, Dionysus and Krishna. Here is what the ancient sources actually say, why the dates do not work, and how to answer kindly when a friend forwards the video.
What Witnesses believe, why their New World Translation differs at key verses, and how to have a useful conversation when they come to your door.
Why each part of the Bible was written in its language, what is lost in translation, and the handful of words worth knowing to read Scripture better.
The spectrum from word-for-word to thought-for-thought, an honest assessment of the major English versions, and how to choose for study, for reading and for giving away.
What manuscript variants actually are, why 400,000 of them is a good sign rather than a bad one, and how scholars decide what the original said.
