Textual Criticism of John 1:18: A Response to Bart Ehrman, An Argument Supporting "Only-Begotten God" by Robert Alan King is a book with over 10,500 words (around 4,700 of those words in footnotes). This book first presents the argument of Ehrman regarding the textual variant in John 1:18, then argues against the faulty effort of many modern scholars to redefine the Greek word for "begotten" to "unique," and afterwards discusses the Christological implications for the reading "only-begotten God." What then follows is a look at the manuscript evidence, a thorough exploration of the patristic literature, and then a short discussion on the possible source of the variant. All this is wrapped up with a conclusion, based on the evidence presented, that the traditional reading of "only-begotten God" is in fact the original text composed by John. King is an ordained minister through Calvary Chapel and runs the website BibleCommentator.com.
