Jean,

I appreciated your comments regarding the state of TC in Europe...  very
interesting, and certainly not something you hear about a lot.  I wonder (and
I'm just wondering!), but could the recurrent focus on the "MT/TR/Byzantine"
(and all the variations thereof) issue have anything to do with the fortunes of
the KJV within the Church in the English-speaking world?  Just curious...
