Defining Textual Criticism Terms, Alexandrian vs Byzantine, Majority Text, TR, Critical Text

I have long said, the most important thing to do at the onset of any discussion is to define the terms. I have tried to do that in my videos. But lately, we have gone down a rabbit hole that causes us to pause and look at a few terms that keep getting mentioned.

When discussing Bible translations, you will often hear the following terms:

Papyri
Parchment
Manuscript
Codex
Alexandrian Text
Byzantine Text
Majority Text (MT)
Textus Receptus (TR)
Critical Text (CT)

We are going to look at those today. Even if you think you know what all of these mean, I really encourage you to watch. You may be surprised at what you learn.
