    Between 5,500 and 6,000 handwritten copies with text from the New Testament are known today, and that number continues to increase. There is hardly a sentence of the New Testament that has the exact same wording in each of these exemplars. Why?

    Perhaps the greatest difference between the 27th and the 28th editions lies in the Nestle-Aland’s new concept of becoming theeditio minorto theEditio Critica Maior(ECM).
