This thread is a discussion regarding the Greek text of the New Testament. It is not about English Translations as much as the different "families" of Greek manuscripts.
Topics that might be discussed:
- Do you prefer the one of the Critical text, the Majority text or the Textus Receptus, and why?
- Are family divisions of manuscripts a good way to categorize variants?
- What role to patristic quotes and non-Greek translations play in constructing a text?
- The validity of criteria applied by modern textual critics.
- Can an eclectic text formed by committee every get back to the original text?
- What role does the Holy Spirit play in the selection of readings?
- How much role should theology play, as opposed to manuscript evidence?
Or other related conversations.
