Criticism Work: You will NOT be graded on these. Do, however, note
that you are asked to READ pages 1-7 and then SKIM through pages 7-46 of the
" Introduction" to your NET Bible. (NOTE: If you did not buy the
NET Bible hardcopy, look in BibleWorks9 for the section on Greek Manuscript
Evidence. Click on the Verse tab, select NET Bible, click on NET menu.) Work
through the exercise for yourself, but note that I will also be posting
answer keys here for you to confirm the work you've done. Note that these
are links to a Google Doc so that you can work on the exercise
collaboratively. Remember, HERE
is the main stuff to know.
- First
reading...: Read your chosen text using at least two different
English versions. (Don't even bother with the Greek just yet.) Go to the
FishersNet Discussion Board for your text group. (Click on Groups, then on
your text. Under Group Discussion Tools, choose the Discussion Board,) In
the "Translation Matters" forum, share any questions, comments,
observations, etc. that arose for you.
