Why Textual Criticism Matters: Insights Beyond Apologetics with Conrad Elmelund
Manage episode 440546308 series 3591665
In this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture, Daniel Mikkelsen, founder of NT Greek Tutoring, engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Conrad Elmelund, a PhD candidate at Lund University. They delve into the significance of textual criticism and its role beyond mere apologetics.
Conrad sheds light on the distinction between textual criticism (lower criticism), which examines manuscript evidence, and biblical criticism (higher criticism), which explores the sources and composition of the text. They discuss the impact of studying the New Testament in its original languages, the role of textual criticism in understanding the Gospels, and how textual transmission affects our interpretation of Scripture.
The episode also explores Conrad’s personal journey into biblical languages, the nuances of textual transmission, and the historical context of manuscript copying. They highlight the value of being part of a longstanding tradition of Bible readers and the importance of recognising one's place within this historical continuum.
Join Daniel and Conrad as they unpack these essential topics and reflect on how textual criticism enriches our understanding of the Bible and our connection to its historical legacy.
