Query: Good Place to Begin

A perfect place to begin your study of New Testament Textual Criticism at the popular level. Quick read. Covers the habits of scribes and how mistakes and intentional changes to the NT manuscript tradition came about. Bare minimum knowledge needed in order to understand the Greek textual aspect that is part of the nature of the NT. Also good for the purpose of investigating one's own interest in the subject before delving into something more advanced in the field of NT Textual Criticism. Knowledge of Greek not necessary. All Christians and all those involved at any level of studying the NT need to know the information provided by Ehrman in this book. Ehrman is a leading scholar in this field and in the NT.
