    The Lord's Prayer
    Dec 18 2023

    In the final episode of Conceptions and Misconceptions, Dr. Gurtner and Tyler continue the conversation on textual criticism. They talk about the differences in the Lord's Prayer found in Matthew 6:13 between the ESV and the King James version. The recitation of this prayer goes back hundreds of years in early church history. How does that extra bit not in that passage get added on to the prayer you memorized in Sunday school?

    Mark's Longer Ending - Textual Criticism
    Dec 17 2023

    In this episode, Dr. Gurtner and Tyler tackle Mark chapter 16. This passage ends in a strange way that has confused scholars for a very long time. Does the longer ending of Mark belong in our Bibles? What are we supposed to do with that information? Dr. Gurtner explains how textual criticism, or a discipline of studying the Bible, can be helpful in this situation.
