Thanks for sharing the review! I'll have to look into it. For now, I'm good with what I've got. For one thing, I'm too poor to buy a new one. :-) And second, textual critics (whether lay or scholar) need to make a lot of these decisions for themselves. Metzger's textual commentary and things like that are helpful for folks like us make our own decisions as we go (thoughts?). Now, if they uncovered six new first century papyri, well, I'd get an updated critical apparatus. As I'm sure we all would!

John, I agree completely. If I remember correctly, there is something like 34 changes in the universal epistles from NA27 to NA28 in the text. The textual apparatus has been updated and changed, and supposedly simplified, which would be a good thing. I honestly don't even own an NA27, I just use the UBS4 and am very content with it. I love Metzger's Textual Commentary and find it to be an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to know what the Greek says.

If 6 new 1st century papyri were discovered, I don't know what would happen. But I doubt that will ever take place. I'm so glad that message of salvation is ever so clear in the Scriptures we have now. God has preserved His word for us just the way He wanted us to have it.

Greek Quotes:

Another result when pastors do not study the Bible in Greek and Hebrew is that they, and their churches with them, tend to become second-handers. The harder it is for us to get at the original meaning of the Bible, the more we will revert to the secondary literature. For one thing, it is easier to read. It also gives us a superficial glow that we are “keeping up” on things. And it provides us with ideas and insights which we can’t dig out of the original for ourselves. - John Piper

Not only is this the only well from which we can draw the original force and meaning of the words and phrases of divine utterance, but also those languages (Hebrew & Greek) possess a weight of their own – a vividness which brings home to the understanding fine shades of meaning with power which cannot survive the passage into another tongue. - John Owen
