John was born in Montreal to Christian parents from Hungary and moved to Toronto when he was nine years old. In his teen years, he began to explore how we know that Christianity is true, sparking an intense commitment to Christian apologetics. John graduated with a B.A.Sc. degree in chemical engineering from the University of Toronto (1985) and worked almost six years in industry, during which time he taught Bible studies at church, at his home, and in his workplace. Concluding that his role in the kingdom was teaching and apologetics, John earned an M.Div. (Pastoral) from Ontario Theological Seminary in 1996; his master’s thesis was “The Westcott-Hort Theory Re-examined.” He became a pastor, first at Toronto Formosan Presbyterian Church and then at Mississauga Christian Church. He has taught on apologetics topics at several local churches and has done presentations for Teen’s Conference, Toronto Christian Homeschoolers (TORCH), and for Intervarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) and The Navigators group meetings. In 2005, he, along with some dedicated coworkers, founded the apologetics ministry Truth In My Days. In this episode we discuss the majority v. critical text debate and everything that goes with it. We discussed Bible transitions, the differences in the text including examples, how to choose between textual differences and much more!
