But since the NV does not represent the Latin scriptural tradition, but instead represents the Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic, it is not useful for that purpose<br />--even as a translation of the Greek, Hebrew, abd Aramaic it is useful in determining what the Latin thinks it should say.<br /><br />6. The Council of Trent declared that the Canon of Scripture includes all the parts of each book as found in the old Latin vulgate Bible (the Latin scriptural tradition). But the NV rejects the Latin scriptural tradition, and removes from the Canon very many words and phrases, as well as more than a few entire verses.<br />-- the Council was writing to ensure that the canon described particularly additions (Daniel especially) that are only found in the Septuagint were retained.<br /><br />7. The NV relies on the Protestant Stuttgart Vulgate for its base text, ignoring the Pope Sixtus V and Pope Clement VIII Vulgate which was used by the Church for several hundred years as the official Latin Bible. <br />-- not really the truth: (from Wikipedia):<br />The foundational text of most of the Nova Vulgata's Old Testament is the critical edition done by the monks of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Jerome under Pope St. Pius X. The foundational text of the books of Tobit and Judith are from manuscripts of the Vetus Latina rather than the Vulgate. The New Testament was based on the 1969 edition of the Stuttgart Vulgate. All of these base texts were revised to accord with the modern critical editions in Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic. There are also a number of changes where the modern scholars felt that Jerome had failed to grasp the meaning of the original languages, or had rendered it obscurely.<br />--Mr. Conte really objects to this amendment to follow the UBS 2 or NA 25. And to the extent he objects to the OT changes, they were Latin editions too.Rinkevichjmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020874424809729738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1422436361758828244.post-87232591260383073262012-07-25T08:05:18.705-04:002012-07-25T08:05:18.705-04:00That was cool!

Tychicus, mentioned in Colossians, apparently delivered both letters, along with the letter to the Laodiceans. <br /><br />Philippians and Ephesians both mention Paul being a prisoner, so they may also date from the same imprisonment as that mentioned in Philemon and Colossians. That Timothy is named as a co-author in both groups is good evidence for this.<br /><br />Galatians is another matter entirely. It doesn't fit with any of Paul's other epistles, although its subject matter most closely matches Hebrews. Like Ephesians, it doesn't mention any personal greetings or co-authors. The chronological information in Galatians all points to an early date, before Paul's second journey and probably even before the Jerusalem Council.<br /><br />It's neither here nor there, but I think Hebrews was probably written after Paul died, perhaps using a lot of the argumentation he had put together. For this reason it was released anonymously and attached to the Pauline epistles already in circulation.Daniel Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02600146498880358592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1422436361758828244.post-92208213687644394992011-09-26T12:31:10.433-04:002011-09-26T12:31:10.433-04:00Persian--not Babylonian.Persian--not Babylonian.The White Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732782601569135839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1422436361758828244.post-43081220232592256172011-09-21T01:22:09.285-04:002011-09-21T01:22:09.285-04:00Thanks for your excellent observations and comment...Thanks for your excellent observations and comments, Jim. <br /><br />I think some of what TC claims could be testable, if we care to apply the rigor necessary, and are willing to be satisfied with scientific probability estimates, rather than 'black n white'. <br /><br />Multiple causes with the same results are not just a theoretical possibility, but a rampant problem in the copying process. <br /><br />I invite you to look at excellent examples of this all-too-common problem here:<br /><br /><a href="http://homoioteleuton.blogspot.com/2010/11/homoioteleuton-strikes-many-ways-for.html" rel="nofollow">Multiple Causes of homoeoteleuton</a><br /><br />peace<br />NazarooNazaroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584331774685466296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1422436361758828244.post-55742914081763560362011-09-19T18:13:41.276-04:002011-09-19T18:13:41.276-04:00Thanks for this post. I hadn't thought of mat...Thanks for this post. I hadn't thought of mathematical iteration as an underlying belief for modern NTTC. I think there are additional reasons for denying the 'scientific' descriptor. First, NTTC theories are not falsifiable, borrowing from Karl Popper. That is to say I am not aware of any test which would determine whether UBS 24 or UBS 27 was closer to the original, let alone UBSX vs. MT. How would anyone decide? <br /><br />Second, I believe that NTTC theories are testable by applying their methods to cases where we have varying editions of a work, but we also have the autographs. One of my favorite examples for this kind of testing is the poetry of Emily Dickinson; the earliest edition is corrupt, the post-1955 edition is authentic. But if one applied the methods of NTTC to these variants, would they generate the autograph? I doubt it; I think it extremely unlikely. Since the methods in a case where we can actually compare to the autograph, why should we grant NTTC methods efficaciousness?<br /><br />Third, given a particular X, it does not follow that only one condition, or set of conditions, will give rise to X. If there are equally plausible conditions for X then it is inherently problematic to side for a particular set of conditions as the actual ones that gave rise to X. I believe that in most cases NTTC is in this situation; there is simply no way to scientifically determine which set of conditions gave rise to a particular variant.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />JimJim714https://www.blogger.com/profile/06135451195351824085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1422436361758828244.post-37645911801954161152011-09-06T12:21:51.776-04:002011-09-06T12:21:51.776-04:00Paleography cannot assign an exact date, but it ca...Paleography cannot assign an exact date, but it can give a range of probability. The range of probability for p52 is bounded on the early end by the composition of the autograph, and on the later end could be contemporaneous with several other papyri of John. So there are no grounds, paleographically speaking, for making p52 out to be extra-special. We can say that it's one of the earliest mss of John and leave it at that.<br />Now in regards to W, I very much favour moving up the date. That doesn't detract from the clear fact, though, that W preserves a very early text--at least in parts, as it's quite a hodgepodge textually speaking. It still stands as a witness to the standard ending of Mark going back to the earliest textual strata, and helps us fill in the conjectured text of p45 where the latter is inextant.The White Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732782601569135839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1422436361758828244.post-64151512353193230842011-08-19T08:10:44.318-04:002011-08-19T08:10:44.318-04:00Interesting post, and nicely done.

Thanks for your comments.
The...Jim and Panoplia: <br /><br />Thanks for your comments.<br /><br />The way I see the Reformation generally, is as follows:<br /><br />(1) The invention of movable type (modern printing), combined with the fall of Constantinople, caused a revival of learning and interest in the New Testament.<br /><br />(2) This did not mean that Protestantism was planned by men. It seems clear that the early reformers all imagined simply a revival, a rejuvination of the Church, not new denominations. They saw corruption in the light of Holy Scripture, and wanted to clean up the Church hierarchy and administration.<br /><br />(3) The stubbornness of those in power in Rome, and their entrenched corruption made a larger revolution necessary. Also, non-Christian forces were at work: the kings and princes of Europe wanted independence from Rome. <br /><br />(4) The Reformation then, was inevitable, even though unforeseen by its own heroes. However, God's foreknowledge and providence guided the process all along. <br /><br />(5) In this process, men only gradually came to form more correct doctrines and began to build a better understanding of the Bible and the teaching of Jesus. <br /><br />(6) For instance, many practices and ideas were reluctantly and gradually abandoned, but inevitably replaced with more intelligent, humane, and sensible practices. Torturing to gain confessions, burning people alive for 'heresy', hanging for mere theft, debtor's prison, child-labour, slavery, all these were abandoned as a result of the Reformation and the consequences of enlightenment.<br /><br />(7) Where was the Holy Spirit? Teaching men, step by step, opening their eyes to some of the greatest and most devastating injustices first, and progressively reforming modern society into a more Christian world. <br /><br />(8) We cannot find the Holy Spirit consistently in any one person, although there were many bright lights and revelations in the process. We have to read between the lines to find the work of the Holy Spirit, and stand well back to see the real and true plan. <br /><br />(9) Now, in the Last Days, we are seeing the reversal of many gains by Christians in helping to form modern Western civilization. But we are not to despair or be discouraged by this. The Last Days will not last long. They are only the death-throws of the old world and natural man.<br /><br />peace<br />NazarooNazaroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584331774685466296noreply@blogger.com
