Three Translation Supremacies, One Inversion
Latin-over-originals, English-over-originals, and Greek-translation-over-Hebrew differ greatly in history and evidence. They become the same formal error when a dependent version is made judge of its source.

The Comma Wager: What the Evidence Proves—and What It Does Not
The familiar story that Erasmus made a wager about the Comma Johanneum is commonly repeated as settled history. The actual question is narrower: what did Erasmus say, what did the manuscript evidence establish, and what does neither prove?

Which Text Did the Reformed Confessions Identify as Authentic?
