Some of these papers may be the early stage of something that will become a published article or book. Others will (hopefully) not, once their authors' are put through the gauntlet of questions they will get. Besides, as much as I like the growing use of the internet to create access to scholarship, the limitting factor in my own studies of textual criticism has never been a lack of published works out there for me yet to read, many of which are better than SBL papers. That being said, if these papers are made available online, I would love to take a peek. The Wachtel one looks the most interesting (present company excluded of course, Pete). I know he wrote a monograph on the byzantine text of the catholic epistles several years ago. But my German isn't good enough for scholarly monographs yet. So everything I know about that work is via the positive reviews it received. I'm sure that others who, like myself, think the byzantine text is too maligned in most scholarship, but who are not full-fledged MT adherents, would be most interested in the thoughts of someone like Wachtel, a true text-critic.Eric Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559055709208918638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-1132492903868823272005-11-20T13:21:00.000+00:002005-11-20T13:21:00.000+00:00And where might one read these papers online?It se...And where might one read these papers online?<BR/><BR/>It seems to me all these academics spend a lot of time talking to each other, but no time informing the wider church about their research. So the papers rot away in the far corner of some theological college and do the church no good at all.<BR/><BR/>Instead of investing so much time in researching these papers, why not spend a bit of extra time setting up a web site and uploading the thing so we can all enjoy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
