Kurt Jaros provides here the fourth in his series of videos about my views of whether we can know what the authors of the New Testament actually wrote.  It is an intriguing series: Dr. Jaros is a conservative evangelical Christian scholar who thinks that other public evangelical figures have misrepresented my views.  But this is a tricky one.  What do you think?

Dr. Jaros will be willing to  address any comments/questions you have.
