In this case, its relationship to the Byzantine text in the Catholic Epistles is used to test the results of the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM), a new computerized tool being used to edit the standard editions of the Greek New Testament (NA28/UBS5). Against claims that the CBGM is not useful for understanding textual history, this study shows that, when used carefully, it can provide valuable clarity to our understanding. The results of this test have implications for the CBGM, for the textual worth of the Byzantine text, and for how all “texts” are related and evaluated.
