Postscript Essentials: The God Who Inspired His Word Also Preserved It

If God inspired His Word, what happened to those words after they were given? 

In this PostScript Essentials conversation, Brandon Briscoe sits down with Dr. Alan Shelby to explore the relationship between inspiration, inscription, transmission, preservation, and translation—and what those doctrines mean for our confidence in the Bible we hold today.

From a KJV, Bible-believing perspective, this conversation asks whether preservation ended with the original manuscripts or whether God providentially preserved His Word through history, transmission, and translation. Dr. Shelby discusses textual criticism, the history of the English Bible, the King James Bible, Jeremiah 36, the Received Text, and the providential preservation of Scripture.

Originally recorded as PostScript Episodes 100 & 101, these two conversations have been brought together into one PostScript Essentials presentation. If God was capable of inspiring His Word, is He also capable of preserving it?

What if one reason God gives us more peace, strength, time, or provision is that now some of it is available for someone else? In this episode, Jonathan Kindler continues the "Stewarding the Good" series by exploring what happens when life finally gets a little easier—and our instinct is to protect what we’ve gotten back. Through stories about parenting, opening his home to someone who needed a place to stay, and his own struggle with overcommitment, Jonathan considers how to enjoy God’s good gifts without guilt while still remaining available for His purposes.
