Hi all

First off, please note that this isn't a flame, I'm merely playing devil's
advocate (as well as being genuinely interested in knowing the answer).

Currently I own the intros to TC by Metzger and the Alands.

To name two other notable recent books, I also own the _Studies in the
Theory and Method of NT TC_ (the collection of essays by Eldon Epp and
Gordon Fee) and _The Text of the NT in Contemporary Research_ (the
altogether wonderful festschrift for Metzger's 80th birthday, edited by
Bard Ehrman and Michael Holmes).

Given 1] the thorough coverage of the material provided by the first two
books and 2] the fact that, taken together, the latter two books comprise
just about as extensive a survey of the current state of TC of the NT as
one could imagine having, what would the proposed "Encyclopedia" offer me
that I don't already have?
