Mark Ward talks with Darryl Berling of Biblical Mastery Academy. - Ward on Words

“Simply because a plural ‘you’ is used—because a community is being addressed—doesn’t exclude individual action. That said, an individualistic application of a plural “you” should not lead us to assume every plural “you” is meant for the individual. There is much more going on.” - 9 Marks

Did the rediscovery of the ancient manuscripts Sinaiticus and Vaticanus really lead to massive changes in our Greek New Testaments? - Mark Ward

“Did Erasmus back translate the last five verses of Revelation from Latin to Greek in his textual critical work or did he place the Latin in the Greek text as a placeholder until his publisher was able to find a Greek text containing those five verses?” - Ref21

“I’m not being snarky; I’m asking very sincerely. I’m driving at what I think is an important and even peacemaking point in the debate over the text of the Greek New Testament.” - Mark Ward

“the Textual Confidence Collective … discuss whether the ideas of Westcott and Hort really control the current practice of New Testament textual criticism, and short the answer is, ‘No’ ” - Mark Ward

“An early papyrus containing texts from Matthew, Luke, and the Gospel of Thomas has now been published as one of the oldest fragments containing canonical material to survive the past two millennia.” - RNS

“The majority of surviving Greek manuscripts include Mark 16:9–20 at the end of the Gospel, and the majority of Christians throughout church history have received these verses as God’s word. Nevertheless, both external and internal evidence suggest that Mark likely ended his Gospel at verse 8” - Desiring God

“Mark Ward and others like him are taking the new position, the reactionary one, that arose out of mid-19th century modernism and rationalism. His position, and the biblical and the true Christian one, the faithful one, do not and cannot meet.” - Kent Brandenburg
