The academic study of the NT requires a text of the NT for that study. This course, therefore, seeks to provide foundational competencies in the knowledge of NT manuscripts, the history of the discipline of textual criticism, and the creation and use of modern critical editions. At the same time, the contemporary field of NT textual criticism is concerned with far more than merely the (re)construction of the NT text. Thus, the course will also consider recent scholarship on early Christian scribal culture, manuscripts as early Christian artifacts, and the theological significance of textual variants.Must be proficient in NT Greek.
