The person you want to be in on this is Dr. Jeff Kloha, LCMS pastor and professor who's the executive at the Museum of the Bible. This is right up his alley of expertise!
We need to rethink textual criticism. There are patriotic citations that confirm for instance the longer ending of Mark that are older then our oldest manuscripts. We need a textual criticism that prioritizes the patriotic witness where that witness is older then our manuscripts. If we do I think that witness will lead us to the Byzantine family of texts. Future textual criticism should be built on the foundation of the Byzantine texts and the ancient patriotic witness.
Can the elcetic approach actually reconstruct the most accurate Bible of just multiply error with Bible verses that never existed in any text but are pieced together here and there from various erratum? I think we need to consider putting weight back on the Byzantine text tradition and work with those textual varients.
Neat project!
