  • Epp, It'S All About Variants
    It's All about Variants: A Variant- Conscious Approach to New Testament Textual Criticism Eldon Jay Epp Harvard Divinity School* The goal of New Testament textual criticism would appear to be simple enough: to restore the original text written by each author of the New Testament books. Upon examination, however, the notion of simplicity vanishes immediately and each of the key terms here—"restore," "original," "text," and "author"—has its problematic aspects, but more importantly the simply stated goal itself turns out to be inadequate. Grist for the text-critical mill consists of textual readings or variants, which for the relatively small collection of writings called the New Testament are not merely in the hundreds or thousands, or even the tens of thousands, but run to perhaps a third of a million. They stem from the nearly 5,500 Greek manuscripts, some 10,000 versional manuscripts, and innumerable patristic citations of New Testament passages. Over time, variants have been valued differently by various textual critics depending largely upon their views of the goal of textual criticism. When that goal is defined as restoring the original text of the various authors, variants tend to have a binary character—they are either in or out, that is, accepted or rejected. If accepted they assume a position in the privileged critical text that often has been labeled "original," but if rejected, variants are relegated to the apparatus at the foot of the page (in much smaller type!). At the opposite end of the spectrum, when the goal of textual criticism is to explore the wealth of information about the history and thought of the early churches that is disclosed by variant readings, then all meaningful variants are held in much higher esteem.

  • The History of Claremont School of Theology at Willamette University
    Our Story: The History of Claremont School of Theology at Willamette University Introduction: Our story begins in central Pennsylvania beginning around 1822 with the birth of 5 five sons and four daughters to Northern Ireland immigrants, Robert P. and Arabella Maclay. All 5 sons grew up to become circuit rider ministers in, what was then, the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Their father taught them trades so they wouldn’t be a burden on the communities they served.12 Two of the brothers and a son of their sister Arabella, were foundational to our earliest beginnings, shaped the path of values we still honor today and changed the landscape of various parts of California as well. In the late 1940s, when California was called Alta California and was part of Mexico, with Pio de Jesús Pico as the governor, the Maclay brothers left their circuit riding ministries in Pennsylvania to engage in missionary work in China and California. Later, 2 nephews joined them.3 In 1850, California became a state and the population of Los Angeles was 1,610.4 The Maclay Legacy: Robert Samuel Maclay We begin the Maclay part of our story with Robert Samuel Maclay. In 1847 when the Methodist denomination was splitting up over the issue of slavery, Robert Samuel Maclay was sent to Fuzhou, China, where he established a Methodist Episcopal Mission which he served for 24 years.5 He didn’t have a single convert for 10 years but he learned the Fuzhou dialect and translated the New Testament for the people.

    Bratich z Amassing the Multitude 1 1 The Multivalence of the Term “Original Text” in New Testament Textual Criticism Eldon Jay Epp Introduction ne hundred and ninety-one years ago, in 1808, Johann Leonhard Hug’s Introduction to the New Testament carried statements that, in part, may Ostrike textual critics as being far ahead of their time. Hug laments the loss of all the original manuscripts of the New Testament writings “so import- ant to the church” and wonders: “How shall we explain this singular fact?” Next, he observes that Paul and others employed secretaries, but Hug views the closing salutation, written in the author’s own hand, as “sufficient to give them the value of originals.” Then, referring to the further role that scribes and correctors must have played after such a Christian writing had been dictated by its author, he says: Let us now suppose, as it is very natural to do, that the same librarius [copyist] who was employed to make this copy, made copies likewise for opulent individuals and other churches – and there was no original at all, or there were perhaps ten or more [originals] of which none could claim superiority.1 A writing with no original? Or, with ten originals? And proposed by a scholar at the outset of the nineteenth century? Later Hug asserts that “the New Testament has had the peculiar fate of suffering more by intentional alterations than the Source: Harvard Theological Review, 92(3) (1999): 245–281. 2 New Testament Studies works of profane literature . and the heretics, to whom it would perhaps be attributed, had no share in it.”2 What he is saying by both assertions is that, because “strange things had happened in individual mss, even at this early period”3 (that is, before the mid-third century).

This is a qualitative statement - the quan- tity of young men pursuing graduate studies in universities is larger than ever. If Biblical criticism is relatively sterile today, the sterility is partly due to the separation of lower criticism from higher criticism, particularly in the practices of university schools of religion. Between lower and higher criticism there is a great gulf fixed. Both lower criticism and higher criticism are impoverished by this separation, and the younger scholars of this generation working in either field constantly expose their limitations.

    A SCRIBE AND HIS MANUSCRIPT: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE SCRIBAL HABITS OF PAPYRUS 46 (P. CHESTER BEATTY II – P. MICH. INV. 6238) by EDGAR BATTAD EBOJO A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham 07 January 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

ABSTRACT This thesis is an investigation into the scribal habits of 46, attempting to enrich further the information database about the sociology of ancient book production and to explore how these habits might have affected the transmission of the texts of the New Testament in general and the corpus Paulinum in particular. Given this end, this thesis challenges the traditional methods of locating the “scribal habits” of a particular manuscript, specifically methods that are text-focused. Crucial to developing a viable methodology is articulating how the conceptual category of “scribal habits” is to be understood before we can sufficiently isolate them. Using an integrative approach (i.e., the composite employment of papyrology, codicology, palaeography, and textual criticism), this thesis proposes that “scribal habits” are to be found in everything that a particular scribe recurrently did and did not do in the manuscript, encompassing all the stages of its production and its eventual use.

  • The Text of the New Testament 2Nd Edit
    THE TEXT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT Its Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration BY BRUCE M. METZGER Professor of Mew Testament Language and Literature Princeton Theological Seminary SECOND EDITION OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS Preface to the Second Edition During the four years that have elapsed since the initial publication of this book in 1964, a great amount of textual research has continued to come from the presses in both Europe and America. References to some of these publications were included in the German translation of the volume issued in 1966 under the title Der Text des Neuen Test- aments; Einftihrung in die neutestamentliche Textkritik (Kohlhammer Verlag, Stuttgart) . The second printing of the English edition provides opportunity to introduce a variety of small alterations throughout the volume as well as to include references to more than one hundred and fifty books and articles dealing with Greek manuscripts, early versions, and textual studies of recently discovered witnesses to the text of the New Testament. In order not to disturb the pagination, most of the new material has been placed at the close of the book (pp. 261-73), to which the reader's attention is directed by appropriate cross references. BRUCE M. METZGER February ig68 Preface The necessity of applying textual criticism to the books of the New Testament arises from two circumstances : (a) none of the original documents is extant, and (b) the existing copies differ from one another. The textual critic seeks to ascer- tain from the divergent copies which form of the text should be regarded as most nearly conforming to the original.

  • Scribal Harmonization in Codex Alexandrinus? the Pentateuchal Quotations in the Corpus Paulinum* Florenc Mene, University of Edinburgh
    TC: A Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism 25 (2020): 1–35 Scribal Harmonization in Codex Alexandrinus? The Pentateuchal Quotations in the Corpus Paulinum* Florenc Mene, University of Edinburgh Abstract: This study examines the phenomenon of scribal harmonization in Codex Al- exandrinus. It does so by analyzing all the Pentateuchal quotations in the Corpus Pauli- num of A(02) to detect the presence of harmonization as a result of the LXX’s influence on the New Testament quotations (or vice-versa). It demonstrates that A(02) exhibits few signs of influence of LXX on Corpus Paulinum quotations (or vice-versa). It also reveals some characteristics of A(02)’s scribes. Finally, it shows that the influence of LXX on the New Testament quotations in biblical manuscripts, even as late as the fifth century, may not necessarily be as pervasive as is often assumed. 1. Introduction Fifth-century Codex Alexandrinus (British Library’s MS Royal 1. D.V-VIII; von Soden’s δ 4; Gregory-Aland’s A, or 02) is an invaluable textual witness.1 Along with two other codices— Vaticanus (03) and Sinaiticus (01)—it contains the entire Bible in Greek, constituting “a prima- ry witness to the biblical texts.”2 Alexandrinus (henceforth, A[02]) is deemed to be of a mixed nature in the New Testament. Kurt and Barbara Aland opined that its “text is of uneven value … inferior in the Gospels, good in the rest of the New Testament.”3 Despite its importance, however, many aspects of A(02) remain underexplored. As David Parker comments, “the bibliography on this manuscript is surprisingly sparse.”4 W.
