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.

It looks like this will also help to determine whether this book was stolen from Britain (specifically Scotland) by those Irish monks, and whether we should ask for its return!
I can see how this might establish that it came from Scotland. Can it also establish whether or not it was stolen?
Moreover, Britain would do well to remain rather quiet on the subject of repatriating manuscripts :-)
Well, Pete, many of the manuscripts and other artefacts which we Brits are alleged to have stolen from other countries were in fact legally purchased by British explorers, and so there is no question of theft. Nevertheless the countries in which they originated want them back, as their cultural heritage. And I don't blame them. But if they are saying things like that to us, surely we have the right to demand back our own cultural heritage. I'm not being very serious of course, but there are two sides to this issue.
