Reading Over My Shoulder

From Robinson & Pierpont, The New Testament In the Original Greek: Byzantine Textform

"The consensus-based approach does not appeal to favored individual manuscripts, local texts, or minority regional texttypes, nor to subjective internal criteria that adopt an amalgam of individual readings with ever-changing degrees of minority support. The appeal is to the combined evidence that has been preserved among the extant Greek witnesses." (xxiii)
