THE CLAREMONT PROFILE METHOD for GROUPING NEW TESTAMENT MINUSCULE MANUSCRIPTS New Testament Textual Critics Have Always Welcomed CHAPTER THREE THE CLAREMONT PROFILE METHOD FOR GROUPING NEW TESTAMENT MINUSCULE MANUSCRIPTS New Testament textual critics have always welcomed with enthusi- 27 asm the discovery of a Codex Sinaiticus or of each new series of biblical papyri, such as the Chester Beatty or the Bodmer, and with each such discovery they welcome also the accompanying labors of analysis, the difficult reassessment of previously-known material, and the often painful revisions in method and theory that must be faced. In a similar way, textual critics invariably are delighted to find an early versional manuscript or that of a Church Father containing a portion of New Testament text, and they accept with pleasure the riches that are thereby added to the store of materials. But, I dare say, few indeed are the textual scholars who are elated by an addi- tional Greek minuscule manuscript or who view the many hundreds of New Testament minuscules as comprising anything less than a formidable mass of vexing and insoluble problems. Sheer quantity accounts for part of the problem. While there are presently eighty-one Greek papyri of the New Testament and 266 majuscule manuscripts, there are at last count 2754 Greek minus- cules.2 The difficulty of this minuscule problem may be indicated 1 A paper first read before the Society of Biblical Literature, Pacific Coast Section, in May, 1967, with the kind permission of Messrs. Paul R. McReynolds and Frederic Wisse and the other members of the staff of the International Greek New Testament Project at Claremont, where the present writer served as Post-Doctoral Fellow and consultant during the academic year, 1966/1967. The writer’s debt to these staff members and to President Ernest C. Colwell, Chairman of the American Executive Committee of the Project, will be obvious to all. 2 These figures are the latest given by Kurt Aland, “Die Konsequenzen der neueren Handschriftenfunde für die neutestamentliche Textkritik,” in K. Aland, Studien zur Überlieferung des Neuen Testaments und seines Textes (ANTF 2; Berlin: De Gruyter, 1967) 183. The figures below for the year 1909 are from Frederic G. Kenyon, Handbook to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament (London: Macmillan, 19121) 57, 128–29 [19262]. [For current figures, see K. Aland, Kurzgefasste Liste der griechischen Handschriften des Neuen Testaments (ed. Kurt Aland; ANTF 1; Berlin: De Gruyter, 19942); for P100–P115, majuscules 0307–0309, minuscules 2857–2862, and lectionaries ll 2404–2412, see H. Kunst, Bericht der Hermann Kunst-Stiftung zur Förderung der neutestamentliche Textforschung für die Jahre 1995 bis 1998 (ed. Hermann Kunst; 42 chapter three also in the following comparative figures: in 1909, only fourteen papyri were known, but these have increased in number nearly 600%, and the extensive energy devoted to their analysis in recent years is not surprising; likewise, majuscule manuscripts have increased by nearly 60%. This means that textual critics have for generations been confronted by this burdensome mass of manuscripts, and yet—with one notable exception—they have failed or been unable to prose- cute a broad scale methodological effort directed toward the sorting and classification of this massive and intractable complex.3 The one exception, of course, was the work of Hermann von Münster/W.: Hermann Kunst-Stiftung 1998) 14–18; for P116, majuscules 0310–0316; minuscules 2863–2877; and lectionaries ll 2413–2432, see Bericht der Hermann Kunst- Stiftung zur Förderung der neutestamentliche Textforschung für die Jahre 1998 bis 2003 (Münster/W.: Hermann Kunst-Stiftung 2003) 74–79.] 3 The current work on “1000 minuscules examined in 1000 passages” at the Münster Institut für neutestamentliche Textforschung can hardly qualify as classification of the minuscules, for its aim is to show which manuscripts belong to the Byzantine text so that they “may be henceforth neglected” in establishing the original text: see K. Aland, “The Significance of the Papyri for Progress in New Testament Research,” The Bible in Modern Scholarship: Papers Read at the 100th Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature, December 28–30, 1964 (ed., J. Philip Hyatt; Nashville/New York: Abingdon, 1965) 342–44; K. Aland, “Konsequenzen der neueren Handschriftenfunde,” 194–96. The publication of these data could aid a later process of classification, but it may be that the variants chosen will be unsuitable for the detailed analysis demanded. [The preceding statement was, in retrospect, overly pessimistic. The Münster Institut, over the past thirty-five or more years has pursued the analysis of New Testament by the use of test passages, not only to exclude those manuscripts deemed “of no value for reconstructing the original text and its early history,” but also to examine “the remaining manuscripts for their interrelationships, establishing fami- lies and groups among them where possible” (Kurt Aland and Barbara Aland, The Text of the New Testament: An Introduction to the Critical Editions and to the Theory and Practice of Modern Textual Criticism [tr. Erroll F. Rhodes; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans; Leiden: Brill, 19892] 318; see the description of their method, by B. Aland, ibid., 317–37). In the process, the Alands, through the Münster Institut für neutesta- mentliche Textforschung, have produced an enormous amount of valuable data: Text und Textwert der griechischen Handschriften des Neuen Testaments (ed. K. Aland; ANTF 9–11 [Catholic Epistles, 3 vols. in 4, 1987]; 16–19 [Pauline Epistles, 4 vols., 1991]; 20–21 [Acts, 2 vols., 1993]; 26–27 [Mark, 2 vols., 1998]; 28–29 [Matthew, 2 vols., 2003]; 30–31 [Luke, 2 vols., 2003]; Berlin/New York: de Gruyter, 1987–2003). For assessment, see Bart D. Ehrman, “A Problem of Textual Circularity: The Alands on the Classification of New Testament Manuscripts,” Bib 70 (1989) 381–88; W. Larry Richards, “Test Passages or Profiles: A Comparison of Two Text-critical Methods,” JBL 115 (1996) 251–69; idem, “A Closer Look: Text und Textwert der griechischen Handschriften des Neuen Testaments: Die Katholischen Briefe,” AUSS 34 (1996) 37–46; and idem, “An Analysis of Aland’s Teststellen in 1 John,” NTS 44 (1998) 26–44.].

  • Reflections on Moravian Pietism
    REFLECTIONS ON MORAVIAN PIETISM By ELIZABETH ZORB* NOT everyone who has been crucified, burned at the stake, or thrown to the lions has left his mark on history. But John Hus did. John Hus was burned at the stake in Constance in July, 1415, and his martyr's death had far reaching consequences-as far reaching as Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and Salem, North Carolina- cities on a continent of which Hus had never even heard. His death rekindled a Bohemian national religious revolt that led, some forty years later, to the founding of a pre-Reformation church, the Unitas Fratrum. Members of the Unitas Fratrum, also known as the Bohemian Brethren, were protestant pietists, long before either of these words was generally used or had acquired its present meaning. By 1550 there were three branches of the Unitas Fratrum: in Bohemia, in Moravia, and in Poland, with a membership of about 200,000. About a century and a half after its founding, the Unitas Fratrum had a great leader and bishop, John Amos Comenius (1592-1670), who is best known as a pioneer of modern educa- tional theories, a man of universal learning, author of some two hundred treatises on an immense variety of subjects-scientific, philosophical, literary, and linguistic, as well as theological. He transmitted a reverence for learning and a high standard of educa- tion to the succeeding generations of his Moravian Brethren. Co- menius is known to many as the father of the elementary school, of the grade-school method, and of visual education. He apparently issued one of the first picture books ever written for children and his book The School of Infancy was particularly famous.

  • The Text of the New Testamentl
    Grace Theological lournal9.2 (1988) 279- 285 REVIEW ARTICLE The Text of the New Testament l DANIEL B. WALLACE The Text of the New Testament, by Kurt and Barbara Aland. Translated by Erroll F. Rhodes. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans/Leiden: E. 1. Brill, 1987. Pp. xviii + 338. $29.95. Cloth. With the long-awaited translation of Der Text des Neuen Testaments (1982), English-speaking students may now share in the debt of gratitude owed to the well-known German scholars, Kurt and Barbara Aland. The five-year delay, due to a number of complications, has resulted in more than a translation; the English edition "represents a revision of the original Ger­ man edition of 1982" (translator's preface, viii). Though modeled after Wtirthwein's Der Text des Alten Testaments (ET: The Text of the Old Testament [1979]), the NT counterpart tends to be more practical since a follow-up volume by Kurt Aland for advanced students is in the present time (Uberliejerung und Text des Neuen Testaments: Handbuch der modernen Textkritik). Nevertheless, the advanced student and scholar alike can profit from this volume: the computer-generated/ assisted tables, charts, and collations are, by themselves, worth the price of the book, representing the equivalent of countless thousands of man-hours. This could only have been produced at the Institute for New Testament Textual Re­ search in Munster. Besides sixty-five plates (all but three of various NT manuscripts), eight tables and six charts (including one two-sided detached fold-out), the Alands have provided the essentials for a thorough introduction to textual criticism: an overview of the history of the printed NT text-from Erasmus to Nestle­ Aland26 (=UBSGNT3); a discussion of the interrelation of early church history and NT textual criticism (our appetites are barely whet, however, in the twenty-four pages on this topic); a description of the extant Greek manuscripts, as well as Greek patristic evidence (it should be noted here that readers of Metzger's Text of the New Testament2 will find this chapter to be II wish to thank Dr.

Translated by Erroll F. Rhodes. Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged (Grand Rapids. William B. Eerdmans, and Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1989) xviii + 366 pp. Textual criticism is not as static a subject as some mistakenly think. The com- prehensive and detailed introduction to the discipline by Kurt and Barbara Aland published in 1982 has now been expanded and revised. In the seven years between the first and second German editions several significant developments have occur- red and are represented here. The first English edition appeared in 1987 and thus was able to incorporate some of these changes. The English translation of the second edition (ET2) is in parallel with the Ger- man (G 2). This was not the case with ET As a publication ET 2 has certain advantages over G 2. The German publishers were reluctant to reset large numbers of pages, hence extensive additional material has had to be relegated to an appen- dix : ET 2 has assimilated all these additions ad loc, which makes it easier to consult. It is particularly helpful to have both lists and both tables of Byzantine manu- scripts in one place as in ET 2. The charts of the textual character and contents of New Testament papyri and uncials are printed as an end-paper in ET, the Ger- man equivalents are virtually indecipherable especially now that many more manuscripts have been added in G has abandoned the use of graph paper for these charts but this has not increased legibility).

    TEXTUAL CRITICISM OF THE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT (NTGK 6390) New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary New Testament Department, Biblical Studies Division Dr. Bill Warren, Landrum P. Leavell, II, Professor of NT and Greek Fall Semester, 2019 Office: Hardin 260, Phone: ext. 8190/3735 PhD Assistant: Matt Burks E-Mail: [email protected] E-Mail: [email protected] NOBTS MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary is to equip leaders to fulfill the Great Commission and the Great Commandments through the local church and its ministries. COURSE PURPOSE, CORE VALUE FOCUS, AND CURRICULUM COMPETENCIES: New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary has five core values: Doctrinal Integrity, Spiritual Vitality, Mission Focus, Characteristic Excellence, and Servant Leadership. These values shape both the context and manner in which all curricula are taught, with “doctrinal integrity” and “academic excellence” especially highlighted in this course. The seminary is emphasizing the core value of spiritual vitality this year and encourages all at the seminary to focus especially on this emphasis. NOBTS also has seven basic competencies that guide our Masters degree programs: Biblical Exposition, Christian Theological Heritage, Disciple Making, Interpersonal Skills, Servant Leadership, Spiritual and Character Formation, and Worship Leadership. This course especially addresses the “Biblical Exposition” competency by means of helping the student learn to interpret the Bible accurately. COURSE DESCRIPTION: A study is made of paleography, the ancient witnesses to the text of the New Testament, the history of the handwritten text of the New Testament, and the actual practice of textual criticism. In connection with the last of these subjects, students learn to read the critical apparatuses of the Nestle-Aland and the United Bible Societies editions of the Greek New Testament and to evaluate significant variant readings.

  • Book Reviews
    Andrews University Seminary Studies, Spring 1991, Vol. 29, No. 1, 73-112 Copyright 8 1991 by Andrews University Press. BOOK REVIEWS Aland, Kurt, and Aland, Barbara. The Text of the New Testament: An Introduction to the Critical Editions and to the Theory and Practice of Modern Textual Criticism, 2d ed., rev. and enl., trans. Errol1 F. Rhodes. Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.; Leiden: E. J. Brill, 1989. xviii + 366 pp. $32.50. Since the original edition of this book in both English and German has been extensively reviewed, this review will primarily summarize the main reactions to the earlier edition and attempt to assess whether the revised edition succeeds in overcoming its weaknesses. To call this edition "revised and enlarged" is an overstatement. While the revisions are many, they are largely limited to details of wording. The only substantial additions are a brief discussion of the recent synopses of the Gospels by Orchard, Boismard/Lamouille, and Swanson (pp. 263-265) and chap. 8 (pp. 3 17-337),which is essentially a paper read by Barbara Aland at a 1987 conference in Birmingham on textual criticism. NT textual criticism is both an art and a science. The consensus in reviews of the original edition is that the Alands' book has made a tre- mendous contribution to the science of NT textual criticism but is seriously flawed in attempting to describe its art. (The reader will appreciate the summary of issues and the citation of reviews provided in the article by Eldon Jay Epp, "New Testament Criticism Past, Present, and Future: Reflec- tions on the Alands' Text of the New Testament," HTR 82 [1989]: 213-229.) Among the strengths of both editions are the descriptive lists of papyri, uncials, many minuscules, and the church fathers; the introductions to the use of the critical editions edited by Kurt Aland; and the listing of working tools for the practice of NT textual criticism.

  • Bruce M. Metzger (1914-2007)
    IN MEMORIAM BRUCE M. METZGER (1914-2007) IAN TORRANCE PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY [1] Dr. Bruce Manning Metzger, New Testament professor emeritus at Princeton Theological Seminary and, I believe, the greatest American New Testament critic and biblical translator of the twentieth century, died February 13, 2007, at his home in Princeton at the age of 93. [2] Bruce Metzger was born in Middletown, Pennsylvania on the 9th of February 1914. After gaining a BA from Lebanon Valley College in 1935, he entered Princeton Theological Seminary, graduating with a ThB in 1938. So began a life-long association with Princeton Theological Seminary during which Bruce Metzger became not only a legend himself but also one of the school’s greatest intellectual ornaments. He was ordained in the United Presbyterian Church (now the PC[USA]) in 1939. In 1944 he married Isobel Elizabeth, the elder daughter of John Alexander Mackay, the great Third President of the Seminary, who rebuilt and revitalized the school after the divisions of the 1920s. Bruce Metzger’s sheer brilliance, clarity and Christian devotion set a standard all of his own. He taught while he continued to study (Princeton University, MA[1940], Ph.D. [1942], Classics), serving as Teaching Fellow in New Testament Greek 1938-40 and as Instructor in New Testament 1940-44. He was appointed Assistant Professor 1944-48; Associate Professor 1948-54 and Professor 1954-84. He was named the George L. Collord Professor of New Testament Language and Literature in 1964. He retired in 1984 and was named professor emeritus. [3] An absolutely preeminent New Testament scholar, Metzger was known internationally for his work in biblical translation and the history of the Bible’s versions and canonization.

  • 377 BOOK REVIEWS the Greek New Testament Edited by Kurt Aland
    BOOK REVIEWS 377 The Greek New Testament edited by Kurt Aland, Matthew Black, Carlo M. Martini, Bruce M. Metzger and Allen Wikgren, in cooperation with the Institute for New Testament Textual Research, Münster/Westphalia, under the direction of Kurt Aland and Barbara Aland, lxii + 926, United Bible Societies Third Edition (corrected), 1983. The third edition of the United Bible Societies' Greek New Testament ( = UBS3) appeared in 1975. A fourth edition is in preparation, in which there will be a revised selection of lemmata, a reassessment of the rating letters (which I under- stand is to reflect greater optimism in the text than did UBS3) and, according to p. x, a more scientifically based citation of both Greek and, more particularly, ver- sional and patristic evidence. Such change takes time: hence this interim corrected edition ( has been published to include the corrigenda and addenda brought to light during the preparation of Nestle-Aland Novum TestamentumGraece 26th edition ( N-A26). The Preface to UBS3Atells us that most of the changes are to be found in the apparatus and in matters of punctuation, both in the text and in the punctuation apparatus (which now excludes the evidence of N-A25 but which does not compensate by including changes made to UBS3). These changes bring UBS into line with N-A26. In addition, an index of allusions and verbal parallels in Old Testament order is included: this is an abridged version of N-A26 Appendix III. Excluding changes to the punctuation, over half the total number of pages in UBS3Ahave at least one alteration compared with UBS3.
