Dear Seth,

If your interest in Textual Criticism relates to both the Old and the New
Testament, you might consider whether the "Distance Learning Course: Textual
Criticism and Textual History of the Old Testament" at Leiden University,
Faculty of Theology, is what you are looking for. Although the course
concentrates on the Old Testament, the emphasis on the methodology of
textual criticism is useful for both Old Testament and New Testament
studies.

For general information, a brochure and an application form see

Best,

Wido
