Nuevo Testamento griego, crítica textual, texto mayoritario, bizantino, Textus ReceptusResumen
Este artículo ofrece una introducción panorámica a la lógica transmisional de la hipótesis de la crítica textual del Nuevo Testamento griego que favorece al texto mayoritario por encima del Textus Receptus y de las ediciones eclécticas modernas. En un primer momento, las intuiciones básicas de la escuela del texto mayoritario y la escuela ecléctica son representadas visualmente por medio de grafos dirigidos. Posteriormente, se comparan las teorías de Hodges con la de Westcott y Hort, que dominaron en el siglo xx. Por último, se contrastan las teorías modernas de Maurice Robinson y Klaus Wachtel.
