Steve Gregg Responds to Bart Ehrman
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg responds to the criticisms of Bart Ehrman, a well-known textual critic who has written extensively on the Bible. While Ehrman argues that the Bible cannot be considered divinely preserved or inspired due to the existence of varying manuscripts and textual variants, Gregg believes that the integrity of the Bible is not in question despite these discrepancies. He suggests that textual critics use tools to reliably identify the original readings of the Bible, and that Bible translators often use the results of their work to establish the original reading. Furthermore, Gregg notes that Christian faith is built on the authority of Christ and his teachings, rather than on the belief in inerrancy.
