Dan Wallace Interview on the Discovery of (Allegedly Very Early) New Testament Manuscript Fragments
Posted By MSH on May 19, 2012
The Evangelical Textual Criticism blog has posted a video interview with Dan Wallace in regard to Wallace’s surprise announcement months ago during his debate with Bart Ehrman, that very early material of the gospel of Mark had been discovered. Wallace, as some of you may already know, spends his summers traversing the ancient world searching for and photographing NT manuscripts that are not known to the academic community.

This episode discusses another problem passage related to baptism: Acts 22:16.
Genesis 1:2 and the Verb HAYAH
Posted By MSH on May 10, 2012
Here is a link to a short (13:00 or so) video I made searching for the structure of Genesis 1:2 and its verb, hayah (“to be”) The video was prompted by a comment to an earlier post I made about the “gap theory.” That theory of interpreting Genesis 1:1-3 in part depends on translating the verb hayah as “became” (instead of “was”). The video shows there is only one other passage that pretty closely approximates the structure of Gen 1:2 where the verb hayah is present. The point I make is that there is nothing in that second verse to merit the idea that the verse (or anything surrounding it) describes a “becoming” (as opposed to a mere state of existence).
Again, the gap theory has nothing exegetically to commend it. But it’s real death knell is the clause structure of Genesis 1:1-3 anyway.
