I think the original post on this subject asked about including a short
section on NT TC in a Greek course.  I think that this should come late in
the course when students are getting to read NT texts more easily.  I would
then have them read pp. 15-84 of Jack Finegan, Encountering NT MSS (if out
of print, get permission to make copies).  And then I would have them make
their own critical edition of John 1:1-14 from P66 (page 114), P75 (page
119), Vaticanus (page 129), Sinaiticus (page 135), Bezae (page 143),
Washingtonensis (page 147), Alexandrinus (page 152), and 666 (pages
156-157).  They can use as a base text whatever text you have them read
from for the class.  A better way may be to make them colate against hH
KAINH DIAQHKA from the BIBLIKH hETAIREIA at hODOS FILELLHNWN 2A AQHNAI.
This would give them hands on experience and a feel for the science of TC.
They can form their own theories of transmission and history later when
they can study related subjects.
