Is "ponctuation" anything like "ponctification"?
ReplyDeleteI don't know--you'll have to ask The Ponctiff.
ReplyDeleteThe Ponctiff is the Head, right?
ReplyDeleteDoes this include the abbreviations of certain theologically significant Greek words that one finds at times in the Greek Manuscripts (I cannot recall the technical term)? Such as "Theta Sigma" for "Theos" or "Chi Sigma" for Christ?
ReplyDeleteFunny how obscene attention to orthography can be indicative of one's fundamentalist tendencies (attested in other ways elsewhere).
ReplyDeleteHmm. I wonder if they'd be interested in my research on the claim about "asterisks and obeli" alongside Mark 16:9-20 in non-annotated manuscripts.
ReplyDeleteAre lectures-by-video a possibility?
Yours in Christ,
James Snapp, Jr.
James E. Snapp's research sounds interesting. Researching the orthographical minutiae of manuscripts shows me how much Providential care God exercised in the preservation and transmission of His word. The more I read on textual criticism and the painful attention to detail that went into the copying of ancient manuscripts, the more desire I have to treat the Bible for what it really is - the Word of God.
