Bible Note: Greeting EdB! The only problem with the Vulgate is that it dates from the fourth or five century (which is still pretty old, but four to five hundred years after the originals) and it is based upon other translations, not the originals. The fact that it is a translation lessens it's value for textual criticism. It would be like us using the NIV to determine what the original Greek or Hebrew said. As far as the TR is concerned, why would we want to base our text upon the work of someone who only had about six minuscule manuscripts with which to work. The oldest of them dated from about the tenth century, but because it differed from the other five, he didn't use it much. Yet, it was the more accurate of the six. So, if I were to use only one manuscript (which I don't believe would be a wise choice regardless), why would I base it upon the work of one man using only six manuscripts as his basis, none of them older than the tenth century? Further, which edition would we use? He published about 5, all with changes, additions, and deletions. It is far better to use all the material had our disposal. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
