Majority Text

[Jim Poulos]

Questions and/or module requests:

 

Will the Majority Text put out by Hodges and Farstad ever be made available as a module?

I have the Bzy. Text by Robinson but Hodges and Farstad seems more exhaustive.

 

If not or in the near future is there anything comparable, other than Bzy. or the Textus Receptus, that represents the Majority?

 

One more; Are the Text Critical notes or appartus available for the Greek texts, like Nestle-Aland's Text has in the written copies?

 

Thanks, JimP

We hope to get the Hodges/Farstad text from Nelson.

 

The NA 27 Critical Apparatus is available on the Studienbibel CD-ROM. There are also some notes in the GNT-T Notes module. We will shortly release Metzger's GNT Commentary which discusses the textual variants. The CNTTS Apparatus is an in-depth listing of almost all the variants.

 

I recommend two articles on the Apparatus modules on this page.

The patriarchal text of the Greek orthodox church is something like the majority text also.

We will shortly release Metzger's GNT Commentary which discusses the textual variants.

 

Any idea how shortly, and what packages it will be included in?

We expect to post it for download this week.

Great news.
