Mounce: Enough already?

G'day.

No problem.

I apologise if I seem a little "precious",
but I recognise that I am well out of my league in this 
forum. I am making a genuine effort to "keep up" since 
my own grasp of Greek is very minimal compared with 
most of you. I actually once thought my Greek was
quite good! 

My knowledge of textual criticism and also Hebrew is
totally non-existent. So, I joined this and the Hebrew list to 
sharpen my understanding and usage of Biblical languages, 
particularly in preaching.

I am currently studying for an MA in Theology and have 
chosen quite a rigorous path for study of Biblical languages.

I honestly have not seen ALL the posts on Mounce before 
writing my own. Therefore if I expressed a viewpoint
that had been previously stated, it was by accident
not by design. My response to Dr Conrad was not in any 
way an expression of disrespect towards him. 
I accept his apology and decision without qualification
and thank him for his gracious response.

Finally, a question I have been meaning to ask: How
does one begin the study of textual criticism? What
books or CD ROMS should I look for?

Regards, and in anticipation,

Steve Mannix
