The "Word for Word" Wesely Huff Controversy: Navigating the Dead Sea Scrolls

Theology Unplugged

In this episode of Theology Unplugged, Michael unpacks the recent controversy surrounding Wesley Huff's debate with Billy Carson, which led to Huff's appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast. While Huff passionately defended the reliability of biblical manuscripts, his claim that the Isaiah Scroll is "word for word identical" to Codex Leningradus sparked criticism. Michael explains why this statement was problematic, clarifies the remarkable accuracy of biblical manuscripts, and encourages listeners not to lose confidence in the transmission of Scripture. He also discusses reactions from figures like Alex O'Connor, RussianKD, and Gavin Ortlund, offering insights into the broader debate.Get involved: Join us in exploring theology at a deeper level!
