On the Media and Biblical Studies

Dan Wallace has provided a useful service in commenting on a number of the odd, off-the-wall statements that have appeared in the press recently, particularly in reference to Codex Sinaiticus. You can read his comments here. All Christians should be reminded that they need to "hear" the media's comments on anything relating to the faith, and in particular on the history of the faith, with a recognition of the inherent bias of the vast majority of reporters and writers. The combination of prejudice, humanism, and ignorance, always produces absurdities when it comes to the press. Sadly, many believe what they hear, adding to the apologetic burden that lies upon us all as we seek to "give a reason" for the hope within us in our modern secular world.
