NA28: The Current Published Nestle-Aland Baseline
NA28 remains the current published Nestle-Aland edition, but it is neither the whole critical-text ecosystem nor the newest Greek main text in every New Testament book. This article defines exactly what NA28 controls in the reconstruction test.

The ECM, the CBGM, and the Reconstruction of an Initial Text
The ECM supplies the evidence and editorial decisions behind the newest hand editions, while the CBGM analyzes coherence within a contaminated tradition. Neither should be caricatured as an automatic computer-generated Bible.

The Missing Verses Return in Double Brackets: What Counts as the Main Text?
UBS6 restores every numbered verse to the running Greek text while marking disputed additions with double brackets. The change improves visibility but forces a precise distinction between printed location, editorial adoption, and canonical authority.

BHS: The Last Complete Scholarly Edition of the Hebrew Bible
BHS remains the latest complete scholarly Hebrew Bible in the Biblia Hebraica line and the stated Old Testament base of the ESV. Its main text, apparatus, conjectures, and translation departures must nevertheless be kept distinct.

BHQ: An Incomplete Successor and the Limits of Calling It ‘the Hebrew Critical Text’
BHQ improves the presentation of Leningrad, the Masorah, Judean Desert evidence, ancient versions, and textual commentary. Its incomplete fascicle set cannot yet function as one complete Hebrew Bible.

Why the ESV Is Not Simply the Critical Text in English

The Received Greek and Hebrew Controls: Editions, History, and Fair Comparison
A fair reconstruction test requires identified received-text controls, not an undefined ‘TR’ or the KJV treated as inspired Greek and Hebrew. This article fixes the editions, historical checks, and comparison rules.

Building the Westminster Proof-Text Dataset
A whole-system reconstruction cannot be run from anecdotes. It requires a versioned ledger linking atomic Westminster propositions to every proof passage, textual event, translation choice, premise, control result, and bounded verdict.

One God, the Father: Introducing Edmund Calamy’s Trinitarian Sermons
Edmund Calamy begins his defense of the Trinity with the deity and eternal Fatherhood of the Father, establishing the scriptural method that governs all thirteen sermons.

The Son Is the True God and Eternal Life
Calamy’s second sermon gathers the biblical names, attributes, works, and worship of Christ into a cumulative demonstration that the Son is true God, not a subordinate deity.

Honour the Son Even as the Father
John 5:23 requires the same kind of divine honour for the Son as for the Father, while Christ’s mediatorial humility explains rather than negates his equality.
