Catholic Heritage Show W/ Dr. Estrada

In this brief episode we talk about the nature of textual criticism. First and foremost, we dispel the notion that textual criticism is equivalent to being hostile toward the text of Scripture. Instead, textual criticism refers to the attempt to reconstruct, to the best of our ability, the text of Scripture according to its earliest form. We note that textual criticism involves numerous trips to foreign libraries, the acquisition of facsimiles and other such measures in order to determine what the text the Bible looked like through the centuries across the Roman world. Textual criticism, moreover, is essential for establishing the wording of the texts not only for the study of the Bible but for any ancient or early modern text for that matter. Join us this week as we briefly review this important area within the academic study of the Bible.
