Hello Scholars!

I am reading a collection of essays by E.C. Colwell.  In many ways he
seems to have been a maverick; for instance he sharply critized Aland
and the UBS text (>>Studies in methodology . . .<<, Brill, 1969, p.
153):

	"The egregious example of the misleading nature of . . . narrowly
	restricted editions is the United Bible Societies' Greek New Testament.
	Yet this is the edition that Aland refers to as a 'model'!"

I would like your comments on the strengths and weaknesses of his
propositions, and I would also like your ideas as to what factors may
have influenced his thinking.

Thank you,

Mark Bruffey
