Title: no evidence
Review: Good historical stuff, but Metzger is full of generalizations which he just pulls out of his head. No evidence whatsover!His premise is that the Byzantine text is flawed. He then goes on to accuse the scribes which copied the Byzantine text of altering the text on a constant and regular basis. No evidence is given for these accusations other than they altered the text to make it conform to their beliefs or to make certain narratives more alike. Prove it Mr. Metzger.The manuscripts for the Critical Text of which Mr. Metzger is so fond was found in Egypt. Wake up boys and girls, that's where the Gnostic heretics lived. They had access to the egyptian manuscripts and were far more likely to alter them than a christian scribe who believed he was copying the actual words of Jesus or the apostles.The Byzantine church kept to the original teachings of Jesus and the apostles far longer than any other group. Let's give them the credit they are due.
