    The Challenge of the Majority Text: Should We Reevaluate Our Critical Methods?by David L. Moore This paper was presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for a seminary course taken in autumn of 1986. Except for a few spelling corrections, it is published here in its original form. INTRODUCTION Even as early as 1707 when John Mill published his large edition of the Greek NT based mainly on Stephanus's third edition of the Textus Receptus (hereafter TR), traditionalists raised severe criticism against him for the few textual changes he had effected on the basis of his critical study of available MSS.1...

    QUESTION: Is there an edition of the Greek Textus Receptus you can recommend- and equally an edition of the Hebrew - for those studying the languages as they are used in the Bible? I appreciate that eventually Bible scholars need to study the various manuscripts that comprise the Textus Receptus and the various Hebrew manuscripts as well, but a single edition seems a starting point for learning.

    An Understandable History of The Bible ^ | 1987 | Dr. Samuel C Gipp Th.D
    It would be extremely beneficial at this point if we could simply produce the original autographs for examination. This would greatly simplify the operation of establishing correctly the New Testament Text. But this simply cannot happen. It has long been acknowledged by scholars that we no longer have the "originals." They have long since passed from the scene. This is due to the fact that scribes were known to destroy worn out MSS after they had copied them. Apparently the church valued the WORDS of the original more than the original itself. Therefore, the readings of the originals must be...
