The Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Virginia Beach recently hosted Dr. Wallace and his Snoopy Seminar. Here’s what they had to say about the experience:

In the Snoopy Seminar, Dr. Wallace first introduced the basic concepts of Textual Criticism, identifying the problems and explaining the process of ascertaining the text of the original New Testament writings from the manuscripts which are still in existence. Then, the fun began.  

If you’ve been wondering what the Snoopy Seminar is all about, head over to their site and see the photos.

The first page of the Christ for the Nations manuscript.

Without ultraviolet (UV) lighting, the text is barely legible.

It’s not every day that the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (CSNTM) gets invited to come photograph an undocumented New Testament manuscript in our own backyard. But just last week that’s exactly what happened. As an intern with the Center, I was part of a team of four that headed to Christ for the Nations, a Christian college just south of downtown Dallas, to photograph a document that had been donated to the school.

We didn’t know much about the quality, age, or contents of this manuscript, but we did know it was uncatalogued, and that meant it was unknown to the world of New Testament scholarship. To think that my first encounter with a real New Testament manuscript could turn out to be a new discovery. I could be one of the first people to read this document in centuries. To say I was excited is putting it mildly.
