Hi Tim! Technically that is correct for the MT and the CT. I am not sure about the TR, as Erasmus used what he had, which I think was only late Byzantine manuscripts. I am sure the CT relies on more Byzantine manuscripts that the MT relies on the Alexandrian manuscripts because of the limited number of Alexandrian manuscripts available. Both the CT and the MT look at all available manuscripts, as you say, so my “source” statement was a little misleading. Here’s what I meant. The CT is always going to go with the oldest and the MT is always going to go with the majority. However the CT would always go with the Alexandrian if it disagreed with a Byzantine for the simple reason that the Alexandrian text would almost always be older. By the same token the MT would always go with the majority, which will almost always be the Byzantine text. I am far from an expert here, folks, so if someone has more, please share. God Bless! |

Thanks for the clarification Rextar! That was my understanding as well. I had just read of few of the posts on this thread and felt that a few of them did give the impression that certain manuscripts relied on only one type. p.s. - I had a thought last night, all three types of text (Majority, TR, and Critical) are technically critical texts, since each of them makes critical decisions with differing methods. Thanks! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
