A Thought Experiment That Demonstrates the Reliability of the New Testament (Video)

In this clip from a Summit Worldview Conference session, cold-case detective, J. Warner Wallace, examines the objection that there are too many variants between the ancient New Testament manuscripts to trust any document we have today. Is there a process we could use to determine their reliability? In this thought experiment, J. Warner describes a “worst case scenario” in an effort to demonstrate the reliability of the New Testament.
