I disagree with the source texts and with the Lockman Foundation policy on allowing usage. (They are much too paranoid about copyright.) As a translation it is quite literal and therefore excellent for study, but could be in better English. They needed some more style editors.

That is probably why the Esv took off, as almost as literal as the Nasb, and with better grammar...

The Identity of the New Testament Text by Wilbur Pickering. Look for a used 1st edition. After that he began to go down hill insisting Family 35 was the only inspired word of God in Greek. Or something like that. :eek::rolleyes:

CORRECTION!

It has been very kindly pointed out to me that I made an error in my above statement earlier in the thread.

The first edition was heavily criticized for not providing any examples. That issue was resolved in the 2nd edition, particularly in the Appendices (of which App. D: "Conflation or Confusion" was primarily supplied by Dr. Maurice Robinson and William Pierpont, with additional material from Jakob van Bruggen and Peter Johnston).

So, it would be a 2nd edition that you would want to look for. The first edition was incomplete and starting with his 3rd edition he began his slide into the notion that Family 35 was equal to the autographs.

(My thanks to Dr. Maurice Robinson for graciously contacting me with the above correction.)
