Why would codex 177 be overlooked? By its Gregory-Aland number, it has obviously been known to NT textual critics for a long, long time. Perhaps it is because the BSB’s catalog description of this manuscript says nothing about the comma for this manuscript. However, a microfilm of the codex is surely to be found at ...

The margins are wide enough for brief notes, but are not extremely wide. There’s approximately a one inch margin ...

Volume 1, the Matthew commentary is scheduled to release in the fall of 2010. Because this is a relatively new series I think it wise to give an overview of ...
