Having just finished reading the article this morning, I'm confused: you say that "The third edition is better in many respects; see review by D. C. Parker in JTS."<br /><br />In fact, it seems to me that one of Parker's chief criticisms is that the older editions(s) are now out of date, and that the 4th edition has not adequately updated it: <br /><br />"Only a few of those [introductions to the field] out of print are still worth reading for lasting value rather than for historical interest... So much has happened and is happening of which this book takes no notice, that I fear students given it will not see the whole picture. It would be pleasant to greet this new edition with renewed enthusiasm. Instead, I fear that we must prepare to bid it farewell."<br /><br />!Daniel Klevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345321896340574768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-16552919016527746562016-03-31T06:53:22.456+01:002016-03-31T06:53:22.456+01:00This is a great list.

I help Dr. David Alan Black keep up his NT Greek Portal, and there are a number of links on his Textual Criticism page (http://www.newtestamentgreekportal.blogspot.com/p/textual-criticism.html). Perhaps you might find some helpful resources there. Also, I would love to hear about any that you find as well, as we are always looking to keep the Portal up-to-date.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103955051595923507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-84297907407423944792015-08-02T21:09:21.469+01:002015-08-02T21:09:21.469+01:00QUESTIONS!

I know there is a very long line of exact words shared between Matthew and Luke here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synoptic_Gospels#/media/File:Synoptic_word-for-word.png<br /><br />I also read an article that mentioned how the "striking" of Jesus during his interrogation by the priests in Matthew and Luke contains a similarly long line of text that is identical in both Matthew and Luke. Textual critics continue to argue over what that means for the synoptic problem. Did Luke know the Gospel of Matthew and copy that line directly? Or, did a scribe that knew and worked at copying both Gospels add Matthew's line to Luke or even add Luke's line to Matthew? We'll probably never know. But at least we know where the pertinent questions remain when it comes to such word for word shared lines. And I would love to have a more complete list of the longest such shared lines between Gospels. <br /><br />Is there a computer program that can ferret them out? <br /><br />Also, any other works on "conjectural emendations" besides the ones listed above would be appreciated!
