In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, we continue working through audience questions from the Cravat–Canupp debate, focusing on King James Onlyism and textual criticism.

Can anything good come from Egypt? Should manuscripts be dismissed based on their origin? Did Origen corrupt the text of Scripture? And what exactly is textual criticism anyway?

We take a careful and charitable look at these questions, distinguishing between lower and higher criticism, addressing common misconceptions, and emphasizing why these issues matter for how we understand the Bible today.

My goal is not to attack, but to think clearly and faithfully about Scripture, history, and the tools God has given us to understand His Word.
