Document Details : Title: Same Sound, Better Reading? Subtitle: A Text-Critical Analysis of the 1 Cor 15,49 Variants Author(s): HARRIMAN, K.R. Journal: Biblica Volume: 102 Issue: 3 Date: 2021 Pages: 419-434 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.102.3.3289783 Abstract : A recent trend in scholarship on 1 Corinthians presents the verb φορέσωμεν (taken as an aorist hortatory subjunctive) as the earliest recoverable reading, as opposed to the reading of φορέσομεν (taken as a future indicative). These scholars have appealed to the merits of the ω spelling in satisfying certain text-critical criteria. However, I argue that their applications of these criteria are flawed. Furthermore, I illustrate how scholars who argue for this reading fail to account for all the possibilities of why the ω spelling is present and thus fail to demonstrate adequately that this reading best explains all variants. |
