Praise for the Lexham Methods Series
Students entering biblical studies courses at the college or seminary level are often baffled by the array of new methodologies they encounter. Reading their Bible and going to church never prepared them for the likes of form criticism, redaction criticism, rhetorical analysis, narrative criticism, or structuralism! What these students need is a simple and clear introduction to the presuppositions, technical terms and goals of these methods. The Lexham Method Series meets this need. Highly recommended. I only wish these volumes were available when I was in seminary!

This is very interesting to me. Just to see how it all came together...how God took care of His Word, by putting it in just the right hands, is truly amazing to me. I can't wait to delve into this material.

"Alexandrian Text Type" "Includes the earliest and best texts...." Seems to me that the scholarship has not moved much beyond the debunked Westcott and Hort theories of the 1800's. Why isn't the contradictory and confused nature of the Alexandrian Text type pointed out and why does the history not include the important work of Scrivener, Burgon, Sturz, Hodges, Farstad, Pickering, Robinson, and Pierpont? This "guide" seems to promote the incredibly biased critical texts of Nestle, Aland, and the UBS and the nonsensical contradictory canons of NT textual criticism based on eclectic notions. The result of this kind of TC is a text that moves further away from the historical text actually used by the Church and creates a text that was never used by the Church. How can such a "guide" possibly be useful?Andy Anderson

15.00 per volume is a quarter of the price, and very affordable for this type of content. Thanks Logos for making this an incredible value.
