Bible Note: Greetings again, Colin! A while back, I started a thread that contained several excellent posts (starting with post #6758) from several different people that discussed the differences between the Critical Text and the Majority Text. I would find a conversation concerning the different "families" of texts intriguing. We could discuss the subtle differences commonly (or not so commonly) found in the 'Alexandrian' textual tradition as opposed to that of the 'Byzantine' textual tradition. I like both, and there are some small idiosyncracies found in both of those textual families that I like. I primarily use the NASB, ESV, and NKJV as the "go to" Bibles in all of my studies. I also like to use the Young's Literal Translation from time to time which is based upon the Greek "Textus Receptus" tradition, as is the KJV and NKJV. I still like the KJV, even though I do not primarily use it for study and use. I frequently use the American Standard Version (1901). But if I had to choose between the Critical Text, the Majority Text, or the Textus Receptus as my favorite Greek basis for the New Testament, I would have an affinity for the Critical Text. Even with that said, I do appreciate the other Greek textual traditions, and I often consult the Bible versions that have primarily used these other traditions for their textual basis. Auf Wiedersehen! Makarios |
