This collection presents diverse methodological approaches to reclaim the original wording of the New Testament text. Featuring contributions from Abidan Shah, David Black, Peter Gurry, and Maurice Robinson, Can We Recover defends the viability of recovering—or approximating—the original autographs of the New Testament. It critically examines contemporary debates over “authorial,” “canonical,” and “preauthorial” texts and collectively upholds the inerrancy and retrievability of the original text.
Born out of Dr. Shah’s doctoral dissertation (Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary), Changing the Goalpost challenges recent trends in textual criticism that suggest multiple “original texts” and a move away from recovering a singular authoritative New Testament. Dr. Shah contends this shift undermines biblical authority and calls for a return to the traditional goal of retrievable original texts. He engages critically with scholars like Bart Ehrman, David Parker, Eldon Epp, and methods like CBGM (Coherence-Based Genealogical Method), offering a comprehensive survey of modern textual criticism trends.
