CNTTS Academics

Research Opportunities

       The Center provides opportunities for the study of the New Testament text for visiting scholars and students as well as for NOBTS students. Visiting scholars and students should contact Dr. Bill Warren to arrange for study in the Center or for workshops and praxis on textual criticism, manuscript analysis, and paleography.

       Through the Center, NOBTS students can engage in advanced supervised study in the field of NT Textual Criticism on the Masters and Ph.D. levels, including participating in the following:

  • Collation of Greek manuscripts of the NT, thereby making the information from these manuscripts available to the larger field of scholarship,
  • Engaging in the study of the textual relationships of the NT manuscripts based upon first-hand knowledge of the manuscripts and current analysis methods.

If you are interested in visiting the CNTTS as a Visiting Scholar, please contact us by filling the form: Scholars Grant Application   We will be glad to work with you.
