Abstract
The textual criticism of the New Testament (1): The current methodological Situation This first article in a two-part series on the textual criticism of the New Testament focuses on the current state of affairs regarding textcritical methodology. Majority text methods and the two main streams of eclecticism, viz moderate and rigorous eclecticism, as well as statistical methods and the use of conjectural emendation, are reviewed with regard to their views on method as well as the history of the text. The purpose is to arrive at a workable solution which the keen and often not so able textual critic, translator and exegete can use in his handling of the Greek text of the New Testament.

Waaronder huidig veral Z C Hodges, W N Pickering, A L Farstadt, J van Bruggen en H A Stun tel, gaan van die basiese veronderstelling uit dat die sogenaamde meerderheidsteks, met ander woorde die Bisantynse of laat-Middeleeuse minuskelteks, die mees betroubare weergawe van die oorspronklike teks van die Griekse Nuwe Testa ment bevat
Summary
Vir ’n paar dekades het dit gelyk of daar redelike eenstemmigheid onder die rigtinggewende beoefenaars van die Nuwe-Testamentiese tekskritiek gekom het. Ook die titel van ’n referaat wat Petzer onlangs oor "Paradigms and progress in theology" gelewer het, is veelseggend: "Shifting sands: The changing para digm in New Testament textual criticism"[2]. Dat daar beslis woelinge en ernstige debatvoering rondom die metodiek van die Nuwe-Testamentiese teks kritiek aan die gang is, is seker. ISSN 0257-8891 = SKRIF EN KERK Jrg 12 (2) 1991 krisis in die Nuwe-Testamentiese Tekskritiek op geen terrein duideliker sigbaar (is) as juis die metode(s) wat gebruik word om die teks van die Griekse Nuwe Testament te herstel, nie^ (my kursivering). Uit uitsprake soos hierdie is dit duidelik dat ’n besinning oor die stand van die metodiek van Nuwe-Testamentiese tekskritiek tans beslis nie onvanpas is nie. By elke metoderigting sal sowel gekyk word na hulle standpunte ten opsigte van die teksgeskiedenis as hulle tekskri tiese metode
