My review of the ECM Revelation volumes is out today in Religious Studies Review. Per the format, it is short, so don’t expect a deep dive. Instead I tried to hit the high points. You should be able to read it without the paywall using this gift link. Here are the last few lines:
The entire team is to be warmly congratulated. Readers of Revelation will be in their debt for decades to come. It remains now for others to digest the results and use them to better understand the textual history of this remarkable book.
- Text (introduction only, 78 pages). The main apparatus is available in the digital ECM at the VMR (here). For the punctuation, textual structure and paratextual details, I gather you still need the physical copy.
- Supplementary Material
- Studies on the Text
- Studies on Punctuation and Textual Structure
My slightly longer review of ECM Revelation (I was told to write it with pastors in mind) is free here, but it's buried in the pdf of the whole journal issue: https://www.nobts.edu/baptist-center-theology/journals/journals/jbtm22b.pdf
ReplyDeleteIf you search for Karrer, it'll take you right to p. 347 where the review begins.
Thanks for that. Much more interesting than mine.
DeleteThanks for both reviews! I also found the break between the Diabolos and the Satan in Rev 12:9 interesting. Agree that it’s a stretch to call what they included as a Reader’s Edition.
DeleteGood work, thank you!
DeleteMy paper on ECM Revelation’s punctuation apparatus (presented at the CSNTM Text & Manuscript Conference last month) is here: https://youtu.be/9_cG5Cc1Bjc
ReplyDeleteThanks for your paper. And thanks for tracing down the ECM PDF links on my other post!
DeleteI am astonished at the price difference between the US and Europe. While still expensive, the price to buy the set directly from the German Bible Society is “only” 329 EUR.
ReplyDeleteThat is a big difference.
