General information
Dr Leslie McFall
Former lecturer in Hebrew and Old
Testament. Now a full-time researcher in Biblical Studies.
Former Research Fellow at Tyndale
House Library (Cambridge, England)
MAIN INTERESTS: Old and New Testament
chronology (incl. LXX); chronology of Jesus' ministry; new approach
to a Harmony of the four Gospels; the Majority (Byzantine) Text as the
Autograph Text of the New Testament; divorce; headship; and
solving apparent contradictions in the Bible where they are a stumblingblock to
faith in the trustworthiness of Scripture.
The bottom
line of all my research and
teaching is
to restore faith in the WORD OF GOD
as a means
to restoring faith in the GOD OF THE WORD
To those WITH
faith no evidence is necessary;
To those
WITHOUT faith no evidence is sufficient.
NOT ALL SCHOLARS HAVE FAITH (2 Thess 3:2 cf. Rom 12:3) AND
A LITTLE LEAVEN OF UNBELIEF
WILL PRODUCE VERY DIFFERENT RESULTS.
