The Johannine Comma: Inspiration? Or Interpolation?

[Scott Pitta]

If we are going to refer to a specific manuscript, we should refer to it by name. That way, everyone knows which specific manuscript is being discussed.

Other than one mention by Paul that letters should be shared, do we have any indication that the epistles were penned with a larger audience in mind other than the local church? I am not aware of any efforts in the NT to copy and distribute any books.

Early Latin texts are early, but are there any Latin manuscripts that are older than their Greek counterparts ?

Matthew may have been written in Hebrew, Mark may have been written in Latin. But until we have evidence, it is all conjecture. Blame it on the translator in me, but I prefer hard evidence over theories. Eusebius had a lot to say about the NT, but the evidence is no longer in hand.

Acts had a textual criticism unique to itself. Codex Bezae is fascinating !!

This is a very interesting post.
