You have an excellent chapter on Erasmus and the back translating issue. I was wondering who the author was, or where he got the information contained in the chapter.
Thanks for the compliment. I have to admit liability. The information was my own research online from original sources only. If there’s anything good in it, all the credit goes to Jesus Who is my Help and Guide. You seem to be a pastor by the email address. If so, God bless you in your Christian work.
I was pretty excited to find this at first. But, into reading, I found it disappointing. The way it’s bloated made the read sluggish. Then it being fraught with errors made it painful. It’s written like one had taken their conclusions first, then wrote a narrative to fit it afterwards. Articles like these fail to justify the Textus Receptus over the Byzantine type. Ultimately, it makes TR supporters appear as uninformed dogmatic followers of personal ideology, rather than people seeking God’s truth.
Shalom. Thankyou for your (very vague) criticisms. The principle should be: SHOW YOUR EVIDENCE. Rambling about “bloated”, “fraught with errors”, “like one had taken their conclusions first” (very bad grammar by the way), is not good enough. Please reveal these supposed “errors”. If not hold your peace, because as the Blessed Word says Proverbs 17. 28 “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.” Of course the TRStephanus is one form of the Byzantine type, and, historically considered, the best specimen of that type.
