IGNTP website
The IGNTP website has just been updated. Although there's not much there the site www.iohannes.com is where the multilingual edition of John will eventually be hosted.

This is a forum for people with knowledge of the Bible in its original languages to discuss its manuscripts and textual history from the perspective of historic evangelical theology.
The membership of this blog is made up of evangelicals involved in academic study of textual criticism. Those with appropriate expertise and theological convictions who wish to be considered for membership should contact Peter Head or Tommy Wasserman. Those applying for membership must indicate that they have read either the OT or the NT in its original language(s), should be actively involved in text-critical research, and should be already contributing to the blog through comments. They should give e-mail details of an academic and a pastoral referee, a summary of their academic and/or ministry involvement, a statement of their doctrinal commitment (which may be by reference to various classic evangelical statements of faith, e.g. 39 Articles, Westminster Confession), and an indication of their area of interest within textual criticism. Non-members who wish to comment are not expected to be evangelical, but they are requested to respect the blog's ethos.

Does the statement on the IGNTP web site that:
"The IGNTP is now working in partnership with ... INTF ... towards the preparation of an edition of ... John in the Editio Critica Maior series"
mean that these two projects are being merged? Or only that the IGNTP group will produce the John vol. for INTF?

A formal agreement has been signed between the IGNTP and the INTF (and the German Bible Society) to work on a joint edition of John. This will constitute the Editio Critica Maior of John in the INTF's series. The executive editor is David Parker and there will be three editors from each organisation:
IGNTP: Parker, Schmid, W.J. Elliott
INTF: Strutwolf, Wachtel, Mink
The IGNTP remains fully independent of the INTF, but for this project there is close collaboration. There remain differences of approach, which are helpful. For instance, the INTF has produced Teststellen of John 1-10, whereas the IGNTP has produced (as yet unpublished) full collation of all available continuous text mss of John 18. The two different sets of data can complement each other as they can be analysed in different ways.
