As a Liberal and not an Evangelical, nobody ever tried to sell me on the idea that the Bible was and ought to remain simple. Without that, if you teach people about the proliferation of manuscript witnesses and the variety of them, and the absence of any obvious "originals," why shouldn't we expect theories and methods appropriate to that complexity? Why shouldn't we expect a field that already required significant specialization to require more, even as the materials have become more accessible to do that work?<br /><br />And y'all have done great work to make the method more accessible, but just like the languages in the first place, it only clicked for me (having had some of the training required) when I started trying to use it on a text. But that was true of the older NA method, too.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Matthew Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10232613079168523464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-61163995182956772042017-12-20T12:29:48.750+00:002017-12-20T12:29:48.750+00:00Great idea.

Having read Mink, you, TW and listening to White has contributed to what seemed like an unknowable darkness to becoming a murky gray. Even reading those who have lead the pushback has cleared up much.<br />I hope to see your doctoral thesis in print soon. <br />TimTimothy Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641788186736340533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17859011.post-91917017835416492682017-12-19T23:51:42.067+00:002017-12-19T23:51:42.067+00:00A Grove booklet on the CBGM would be awesome.
