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.

This is rather old news. I incorporated this information into my blog post on the CJ nearly six months ago, despite having some misgivings as to its completeness.
I've been waiting ever since for Dr. Wallace to give us more detailed information, once he got back to his library.
Yes; old news -- if the discovery of a post-Erasmus marginal insertion of the CJ counts as news.
I think maybe what's happening is that Wallace, at CSNTM, uses numerals to date his blog-entries (so 7/2/2010 = July 7, 2010), while in other places, such as Britain, "7/2" is interpreted by computerized search engines as "the seventh day of the second month," i.e., Feb. 7, and so somehow, >ping!< it shows up in automated searches for text-critical news as if recent. Maybe.

Nice explanation, Jim.
