| Résumé: | The Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM) was developed at the Institut für Neutestamentliche Textforschung (INTF) by Gerd Mink so that textual critics could produce a working hypothesis for the genealogical structure of the New Testament textual tradition and evaluate text-critical decisions in a highly contaminated tradition. Despite numerous presentations of the CBGM by INTF scholars at academic conferences and in journal articles, the application of the CBGM software to making text-critical decisions is neither well understood nor well tested by scholars outside the INTF. The rationale for Peter Gurry's book, which is a revision of his Cambridge University dissertation, is to "assess [the method's] effectiveness as a text critic's tool in practice," as "there has been no sustained attempt to critically test its principles and procedures" (2). |
