The Present Status of the Text Critical Studies in the Catholic Epistles

Abstract

"In an earlier issue of AUSS1 we looked at the text critical studies that hav,e been done in the Greek text of the Catholic Epistles since the turn of the century. Our concern in this article will be with the relatively recent works on the Greek lectionary texts, versions, and patristic citation^.^ Fortunately, for this task we have in one volume the results of most of the latest investigations that have been made in the Catholic Epistles in these three categories: Die alten Obersetzungen des Neuen Testaments, die Kirchenoaterzitate und Lektionure, edited by Kurt Aland. This is the fifth volume of the series Arbeiten zur Neutestamentlichen Textforschung, published in 1972.3 Our dependence on this volume, referred to as ANTF 5, will be evident throughout the survey"
