More background to the JW vs. PVK debate on the TR: Bayes' Theorem

 


From my twitter @ Riddle1689:

Regarding a postmortem of the JW vs. PVK debate on the TR, I found this video helpful to understand Bayes' Theorem, appealed to by PVK in his argument for a high probability that the TR =the autograph.

JW again appeared clueless on how to respond to this argument (maybe with good reason) and so never really responded to it.

Are you aware of the Facebook Group discussing the applicability of Bayes to Biblical Studies? See the intro here: https://theologie.unibas.ch/en/departments/new-testament/bayes-and-bible/.

I also did a series of posts on the te'amim of the Hebrew Bible and the deciphering key of Suzanne-Haïk-Vantoura: See https://meafar.blogspot.com/search/label/Bayes
