Ben,
Pardon the un-contextual comment.

I believe that, once upon a time, you had a post up titled, "text criticism under the search light" which appears to have disappeared.

Did you have such a post and is it still available?

aDios,
Mariano

Hi Mariano:

No not under that heading. I have done a post on Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus which is in the archives here.

What if it was Mohammad blasting out of his cave holding 72 young women?
