William G. Pierpont

Dwayne Green podcasts on YouTube often have very compelling biblical topics. A few days ago, I listened to “The Byzantine Text with Dr. Maurice Robinson, and the contribution of William G. Peirpont.” I’m not an advocate of the Byzantine Text, holding instead the Textus Receptus, but I find Robinson intelligent and well-spoken, who provided a number of interesting thoughts about his and Pierpont’s creation of The New Testament in the Original Greek: According to the Byzantine-Majority Textform (1st print edition, Atlanta, GA: The Original Word Publishers, 1991). Maurice Robinson is quite well known, but William Pierpont not so much – so it was rewarding to find out more of this somewhat enigmatic person.

If you are interested in knowing a little about William Pierpont, listen to Dwayne’s podcast and look at the following links.
