Bible Note: Greetings EdB! If the first copies are corrupt, how could later copies possibly be accurate? :-) This is the basic difference I would have with your approach. The later the manuscript, the greater the chance of purposeful or accidental error. You mentioned bias - there actually was bias with many of the 'majority' texts. They wanted to standardize the texts and make them say the same thing. This is why the experts don't simply count manuscripts, but weigh them. Personally, I prefer an eclectic text. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
