Was the New Testament of the Bible preserved? Or, was it corrupted by the church and those in power, or through just good old plain neglect?
AC Rosenthal argues persuasively that we can trust the documents of the New Testament. They have not been corrupted by time, transmission or corruption. In this post I quote just one section of his excellent article on Substack.

Our church, Risen Church, is starting a new series on God’s word, the book of 2 Timothy. So, I’ve created a new Creed for our church!

The soundtrack is ridiculously catchy and the characters turn out to be more layered than you might expect.
