Book Reviews of A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament
Book Review: Ewww bad textual theory.
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is not based on good textual theory. There is a textual theory since Westcott and Hort's Greek Text (1881) which is rather pitiful. The idea is that the oldest manuscripts are best, but they end up relying on very corrupt manuscripts such as Aleph, A, B, C, D as opposed to the majority of manuscripts. They also take the word of heretics such as Marcion (who was known to cut out scripture [Irenaeus records this] and in dictionaries shows up as a heretic), Clement, Origen and others. Since Marcion is a 2nd Century textual witness his writings trump all others, good going Metzger (author). Get Dean John Burgeon's "Revision Revised" if you want to know more about the corruptness of the textual theory and manuscripts. Also all Gothic (IVth Century, Metzger says that they hold the Antiochian readings the best) witnesses were thrown out of this edition (UBS 3,4) by Carlo Martini, those not familiar with him will find that he is an eccumenical Cardnal.
