Daniel Baird Wallace (June 5, 1952-) is a professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary where he has been tenured since 1995.

Wallace was born in California and graduated from Biola University in 1975 and later attended Dallas Theological Seminary. He graduated in 1979 with a Master of Theology in New Testament Studies. He taught at Dallas Seminary from 1979-81 and afterward at Grace Theological Seminary from 1981-83. In 1995, he earned his Ph.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary where he continues to teach full time.

Wallace is considered an authority on Koine Greek grammar and New Testament textual criticism[1] among New Testament scholars. He has published largely in these fields and has presented many papers at The Society of Biblical Literature as well as The Evangelical Theological Society conferences.

Wallace published his first edition of Greek Grammar Beyond The Basics in 1996. It has since become a standard work in the field. Two-thirds of schools that teach the subject use the textbook.[1] He also served as senior New Testament editor for the NET Bible and has founded the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts. The purpose of the institution is to preserve the Greek text of the New Testament by taking digital photographs of all extant Greek New Testament Manuscripts.[2]

Wallace, along with DTS colleague Darrell L. Bock, has been an outspoken critic of the alleged "popular culture" quest to discredit orthodox, evangelical views of Jesus—including the writings of Elaine Pagels and Bart Ehrman[2]. Wallace critiqued Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus: The Story of Who Changed the Bible and Why for misrepresenting commonly held views of textual criticism, especially in Ehrman's view of the "orthodox corruption of Scripture."[3] Wallace and Ehrman dialogued at the Greer-Heard Point-Counterpoint Forum in April, 2008.

Over the years, however, Wallace's textual views have evolved to be classified as 'reasoned eclecticism,' the view that each variant is to be considered on its own apart from text-type priorities.[3]
