If you've had no training in this discipline at all, then I suggest you find a
copy of J. Harold Greenlee's _Introduction to New Testament Textual Criticism_
(Hendrickson).  You might also want to look at Jack Finnegan's _Encountering New
Testament Manuscripts_.  After that you'll want to tackle B.M. Metzger's _The
Text of the New Testament_ and the works on the subject by Kurt Aland.

In the meantime, I'd suggest that further questions on Text Criticism and the
issues that are raised by it be directed to the Text Critical (T-C) List.
You'll find that List at:
