Applying CBGM to a specific VARIANT in the New Testament! With Joey McCollum

Applying CBGM to a specific VARIANT in the NEW TESTAMENT

Today we're taking a closer look at the latest methodology in Textual Criticism, the CBGM, or Coherence Based Genealogical Method. This is a method being applied to the New Testament, that is the second half of the Bible, in order to reconstruct the original wording of the inspired authors. In this second part, we walk through from beginning to end what it looks like when we apply the CBGM specifically to 3 John 1. Join us and take in the extra nerdiness of today's video! Big shoutout to Joey McCollum for joining me on the channel!
