Byzantine Text of John

The Byzantine Text of John is now on-line. The project, primarily produced by Dr. Rod Mullen, has been in the works for some time. One of the Church Fathers used in the apparatus is Chysostom. As I was finishing my dissertation on Chrysostom's text of John, Dr. Mullen and I corresponded several times. I sent him the work I had completed up to that point [too many mistakes in it, I'm afraid. Those mistakes have been corrected and hopefully will be in book form in the next year.], and he compared my work with his, using that comparsion for Chrysostom's witness to the 4th Gospel.

The text and information relating to it can be found at:

Finally,

There is a little debate going on the Johannine Byzantine text on the Evangelical Text Criticism blog that you might be interested in.
