Text to Translation: The Story of the New Testament (Session 01)

In this first session of the Biblion Lecture Series, “Text to Translation: The Story of the New Testament,” we combine two presentations:

In “The Autographs: the Letters and Writings that Started It All,” we explore the concept of autographs—the original manuscripts of the New Testament. Discover the nature of these ancient texts and learn how scholars trace the history of surviving manuscripts back to the original writings of the apostles.

In “The Canon: the Essential and Authoritative New Testament”, we trace the journey from Jesus’ time to the establishment of the 27-book New Testament canon. Learn about the historical and theological reasons behind why these particular books were chosen and what criteria determined their inclusion.
