What Happens When New Testament Manuscripts Disagree? (Audio only)

What happens when New Testament manuscripts disagree? For example, should John 7:53-8:11 and Mark 16:9-20 be considered "Scripture"? Should Mark 9:29 say, "prayer and fasting" or just "prayer"?

In this episode, Pastors Brandon and Zac give a basic overview into textual criticism.
