Someone who can survive Harvard Divinity School during the period in which he attended is to be more than commended...he obviously learned a "trial-by-fire" methodology of dealing with the extremes of neo-orthodox tomfoolery. I have one question. I have ordered the book after reading the first two chapters. I notice in his explanation of how to evaluate ancients texts that he says nothing about the value of the "shorter" text in the variants. Since this is the second criteria of the United Bible Societies in their rating system of variants (behind age), does Roberts deal with that aspect later in the book? Just curious.

I also appreciated the further reading that he offers through all of the reference footnotes. thanks for the review I just noticed this book for the first time a few days ago and read a bit of it.
