[B-Greek] Reliability of the Greek Text

An excellent presentation of how the text of the UsB edition was edited 
appears in the introduction to B. M. Metzger's A TEXTUAL COMMENTARY ON THE 
GREEK NEW TESTAMENT.  He shows how the text was transmitted, and how the 
committee that produced the text of this edition wrestled with the variant 
readings of the manuscripts.
