## Resource

We are happy to team up with Denis Salgado from The Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) and discuss the history and transmission of the New Testament documents. The CSNTM is an organization started by Dan Wallace that exists to preserve and digitize NT manuscripts, studying their background and transmission. As part of their service to the church, CSNTM has a series of lectures they offer to local churches in an effort to help Christians understand the textual history of the New Testament documents.This is part 5 of a 7 part series, called Text to Translation: The Story of the New Testament. This episode focuses on the scribes who copied our New Testament manuscripts. What was their life like? How does knowing about them help us?For more on CSNTM: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.csntm.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠ For more on Denis Salgado: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.csntm.org/2022/09/15/welcome-denis-salgado/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you have found the podcast helpful, consider ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠leaving a review on Itunes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rating it on Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ .
