Textual Criticism...
Posted: April 3rd, 2016, 6:21 pm
Hi all,
I'm unsure of where this topic should be located and hopefully this is the right place to ask.
I've been a Christian for roughly 15 years and have been fed through the NIV. About 2 years ago I started attending a bible college and fell in love with Koine Greek - I've spent the last 2 years studying the language. Throughout this journey I've had a few discussions with a friend who is very pro-KJV (Textus Receptus) and very confident in his ability to reason for only reading the KJV/TR.
Because of these discussions, I've encountered much internal conflict and, understandably, it has shaken me a bit.
I want to know more about textual criticism. I understand this to be a very hot topic and can be quite contentious.
Could I ask that for those forum members who have a knowledge of the subject, to private message me with some information; or feel free to post some links below. I have no idea where to start on this subject and really just need a platform to launch from.
Thanks all!
Matt
