Thanks to Ron's (Philologos) recommendation of Bible-Researcher (which is an excellent site), I found some relevant online information concerning the Majority Text, an issue that keeps coming out in the forum these days.Against: Inspiration, Preservation, and New Testament Textual Criticism by Daniel B. Wallace The Majority and Original Text: Are They Identical? by Daniel B. Wallace Some Second Thoughts On the Majority Text by Daniel B. Wallace For: New Testament Textual Criticism: The Case for Byzantine Priority by Maurice A. Robinson
Majority Text
Thanks SamRobinson is a professional 'Textual Critic' although his views are oftne attacked. It was Robinson I had in mind when I said that there were well regarded textual criticism scholars who held to the majority view.Robinson would be the chief spokesman of this group. I am creating a pdf with hyperlinks for anyone who would like a copy.

Obviously, it does not necessarily follow that a more prevailing or "up-to-date" view is always closer to the truth.How close are the Majority Text and the modern critical text when compared with each other? 95%? 98%? Just by seeing such figures, I can see the providence of God in preserving the written revelation for his church! Praise him!
