Textcritical science of the last century has largely based itself on the appreciation of codici like the Sinaiticus as 'quality manuscripts'. Although the Sinaiticus confirms that even for that (probably non-orthodox) context in the fourth century the text of Bible books was 95% the same, it's quality and authoritativeness should be reconsidered. While I deeply appreciate the work and views of colleagues who operate from the present consensus paradigm in biblical sciences, I think it is time to reconsider whether the paradigm stands scrutiny in scholarship and is in the best interests of the Church, when its conclusions are used in a religious context, particularly that of Bible translation and use. My article in this week's Reformed Daily:
