ADVANCED MSS CLASS

Dr. Hollands is also has an advanced manuscript evidence class for those with prior knowledge of manuscript evidence and the Bible issue in general. He plans on taking a couple books in the NT and comparing the Greek (TR/critical text) and other translations such as some of the earlier English Bibles and other languages. The student must have Windows with a processor that can load and use the symbol ("Greek") font. He will be using a lot of Greek and it would most likely not be worthwhile taking the course with out the proper equipment. (It is not necessary to know Greek.)
