Yesterday morning, at the
G3 conference in Atlanta, GA, James White of
Alpha and Omega Ministries and
Michael Kruger of Reformed Theological Seminary in
Charlotte held a good discussion of the canon of scripture (mostly the New Testament canon), and often times their conversation drifted toward matters of textual criticism. I would encourage you to watch the video (link below; sorry, it's currently available only on Facebook), and if you are interested, please comment on some of the more salient points. For example, around the 45:00 minute mark, there is a good discussion of the relationship between the canon and individual text forms of books, which will probably interest many of you. Also, I would be interested to know what you all think about the distinction between the "ontological" canon and the "exclusive" canon (Kruger) or White's Canon 1 and Canon 2. If I remember correctly, this topic arose near the beginning of the discussion on the video. Here is the link to the video:
