The text of the New Testament in contemporary research: Essays..

---

This reviewer is an advocate of the Textus Receptus, and works for the Trinitarian Bible Society. He does, however, keep abreast of what the modern text critics are saying. Of interest to this reviewer is the fact that Bart Ehrman openly acknowledges (in footnote 6, pp 44-45) that Kurt Aland's hypothesis that the Byzantine Text was the result of a 4th century Lucianic recension of the New Testament text is indeed false. Ehrman has chaired a number of researches for the Society of Biblical Literature (from 1990 through 2003) that have extensively researched the patristic citations of the New Testament, in particular, the Byzantine fathers Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nyssa. Gordon Fee, who also has worked closely with Ehrman on this same project, has closely researched the patristic citations of Chrysostom. Both conclude that the Byzantine Text was in a state of flux at this time, that there were variants between the citations of the Byzantine Church Fathers at this time, and therefore, the text could not have been the result of a formal recension inasmuch as a recension would have standardised the text and removed all variants.
