Thanks again for your response and I am grateful to be able to speak about these things with you. But again I would have to respectfully disagree with your interpretation of my post as one deeply entrenched in Protestant thought. When I mentioned true 'Biblical faith' I was contrasting this with neo...

Provolavnik, Thanks for the heads up on Schroeder's work. I haven't read it, though, and I'm not sure if I'd understand it if I did! :) In any case, perhaps the whole approach is wrong?

The fact that it was done by Protestants seems immaterial to me, insofar as they hold to Orthodox theology and christ...

If I am not mistaken, however, the Byzantine textform is the canonical New Testament of Eastern Orthodoxy, which has been preserved since the beginning of the faith. I don't think the Byzantine text could have been preserved since the 'beginning of the faith' (ie: from the time of the apostles) for...
