The Coherence Based Genealogical Method as a Tool for Explaining Textual Changes in the Greek New Testament
(2015) In Novum Testamentum 57(2). p.206-218- Abstract

The CBGM promises to detect readings, which have emerged several times independently in the textual tradition. The method is applied to selected examples in 1 John 5:6 and Jude 4, which are relevant to the issue of “orthodox corruption,” as raised by Bart D. Ehrman.

Rather the textual changes reflect other typical behaviour on the part of the scribes throughout...
