Hi Jason,
I posted a suggesting reading list on another thread (see link below), of books to help someone understand -- and be able to defend -- the AV / TR-preference, as well comprehend the Byzantine-priority view, and the failure of the Westcott-Hort / CT paradigm.

As regards my recommending the NKJV in a post above, it does have a few problems, but I, for one, can work with it. It is the pew Bible in my church, and I opted for that version against the ESV (which the pastor of the planting church wanted to give us).
