Majority Text vs. Critical Text vs. Textus Receptus – Textual Criticism 101

A good crash course in texual criticism from Berean Patriot:

There are three major competing Greek sources to use for translating the New Testament: the Critical Text, the Majority Text, and the Textus Receptus.   The science of assembling these manuscripts is called “Textual Criticism”, and you can consider this a complete Textual Criticism 101 article because we’ll look at these topics in exhaustive detail.

And I do mean exhaustive detail.

This is the second longest article on this website (after the one on Revelation), but that’s because it’s extremely complete.  After reading this one article, you’ll know more about these topics than the overwhelming vast majority of Christians.

So let’s get started.  🙂
