Research
Most of the research undertaken by the NTTSF seeks to contribute to the overarching research being done in the field of New Testament Textual Scholarship. Several organizations we work with are the International Greek New Testament Project, the Center of New Testament Textual Studies, and the Green Scholars Initiative.
Online English Textual Commentary
an online bible reference module, which will allow anyone to see and understand changes that scribes made during the copying of the New Testament. Many of these non-original reading present ancient understandings of the text. When faced with a textual question, a pastor, Sunday school, teacher, or anyone else studying the New Testament could access textual evidence (in English) and read commentary on the text.
Catalog of Manuscript and Research
While New Testament scholars seek to collate all known NT MSS, we think it would be important to have a digital catalog of those MSS and the work done on them. Understanding the manuscripts and having this resource benefits a spectrum of individuals, from laymen to bible translators. For the first time, many NT MSS are being made available to the public through the Internet. The examination of this MSS was restricted in the past because of the antiquity of the MSS, but today with increased assess comes increased responsibility to understand these MSS and their importance in New Testament studies. This project seeks to bridge the gap between access and responsibility through a catalog of information, which will allow one to understand and study the New Testament more clearly.
Curriculum
From these modules and other work we hope to produce interactive curriculum on the history of the Bible, Reading and Understanding the Bible, and Choosing a Bible Translation.
