Textual criticism is a branch of textual scholarship, philology, and literary criticism that is concerned with the identification of textual variants in either manuscripts or printed books. Ancient scribes made alterations when copying manuscripts by hand. Given a manuscript copy, several or many copies, but not the original document, the textual critic might seek to reconstruct the original text (the archetype or autograph) as closely as possible. The same processes can be used to attempt to reconstruct intermediate versions, or recensions, of a document's transcription history. The ultimate objective of the textual critic's work is the production of a "critical edition" containing a scholarly curated text.
There are three fundamental approaches to textual criticism: eclecticism, stemmatics, and copy-text editing. Techniques from the biological discipline of cladistics are currently also being used to determine the relationships between manuscripts.
The phrase "lower criticism" is used to describe the contrast between textual criticism and "higher criticism", which is the endeavor to establish the authorship, date, and place of composition of the original text.

A response to Dr. White's video "More King James Only Misrepresentation," in which he offered a review of my presentation of his book and the NIV textual footnote on Acts chapter 8 verse 37. A couple of additional points: When I recorded this video I was unaware that Mr. White's doctorate is not from an accredited institution. I don't really care about that but I probably should not refer to him as "Dr." but I won't be re-recording the video. Also, the Byzantine text he shows is simply the Robinson/Peirpoint Majority text. It is not a text anybody ever used in any church anywhere; it is a contrived text form that just shows "majority" Greek mss. readings. He brings it into the display as if it adds something to the discussion, but, it has already been accepted that Acts 8.37 is a minorit...

Sermon TC4 (Textual Criticism Series, Part 4) The history of the Textus Receptus and Wescott & Hort texts. How the Ante Nicene fathers, by their own words, approved the manuscripts composing Textus Receptus over those of the Wescott & Hort. An expose of the faults in the Wescott & Hort which far outweigh (in both significance and quantity) those of the Textus Receptus. Textus Receptus (or 'Received Text') is the foundation of the King James Version bible as the Westcott and Hort is for NIV Grace & Truth Ministries
If you encounter someone who questions or doubts the accuracy and reliability of our New Testament, such as a Mormon, the information Dr. Daniel Wallace provides in this presentation at Heights Baptist Church in 2013 will address those issues directly. Mormon apologists must admit that the staggering majority of the textual variants are merely minor in nature. Dr. R. L. Anderson, a Mormon scholar and authority in the LDS Church on Biblical manuscripts, recognizes that the variations in the New Testament manuscripts are essentially insignificant. Dr. Anderson notes the overwhelming agreement between the thousands of manuscripts; he explains that "...all manuscripts agree on the essential correctness of 99% of the verses in the New Testament."

How to Read the UBS5 Apparatus in 1 John 2:6. David Hutchison, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Houston Campus
We are committed to training the next generation of teachers and leaders. As part of this effort we have established our Entrust Bible Institute and Entrust Leadership Academy. These are designed for the men of our fellowship who desire to dig deep into theology and the Scriptures. Its purpose is to accomplish Paul’s exhortation in 2 Timothy 2:2 where Timothy was to entrust the truth to “faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” It is focused on the learning and handling of Scripture, and also on sharing the experiences of the leadership in the wide array of ministerial responsibilities. Often this second aspect of ministry is limited by time constraints if a man attends a seminary or Bible college.
