Featured What Stand Does BJU Take?

So you would see that either Greek text would be good to use for study and translation purposes, and you just prefer MT one?

 

How do you like the Nasb?

 

So that would mean that the Critical text actually does give to us closer to what the originals were, or at least closer to what the first and second generation Christians knew to be the NT?

 

So Dr Wallace would and does disagree with him them

 

So only the MT would reflect the origpnal text to us, and the Critical Greek text is what then?

 

I've been meaning to ask, any recommendations on a more entry level text on NT textual criticism? Hopefully something that manages to present both sides fairly? And cheaper than 67 bucks would be nice.

 

Thank you.

Oh @John of Japan , and recommendations?

 

I repeated the above in case TC missed it.

 

Yes indeedy.

 

Just curious as to what would be the reall issue/problem for using eitherthe latest critical greek text, or the MT for study and translation use?

 

Seems that we just might have a MT only viewpoint here?

 

Thank you very much for the repy.

 

That is a very good book on this subject, as there are really scholarly works written to support both the CT/MT positions, but to wade into those, experts only need apply to get the full gist from them, and i am far from that, as was taught some of the basics, but not the stuff the translators and textual critics get into to!
The main thing still remembered was that the NA 26th of that time was best for critics due to all of the aparatus in it, but the 3rd edition UBS best for translators, as they did not need all of that stuff in margins!
