The Development of the New Testament Text<\/a> by Jim Snapp, 2nd. Wow, my head hurts. I’m not sure I agree with the first few paragraphs, but it is a lot for an old man to assimilate.<\/p>\nThanks again.<\/p>\n\t
Answer:<\/h2>\n
I try to find material that helps people better understand the Bible. Some of it is light for new Christians, and some is deeper. I do hope it helps you grow.<\/p>\n\t
Response:<\/h2>\n
Thanks. I’ve been an adult Bible class teacher for over 45 years, so I’m not a kid. However, I never had a great study of the text, and there’s a lot in that area. I got a lot of good out of it, but I probably will not go back to it again. It’s pretty deep.<\/p>\n
Thanks again. I use your website often.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
