About LinkBacksTo the best of my recollection he does not deal with which Greek or Hebrew texts are to be considered as authentic. Rather, he argues for the use of such texts over and against the Latin Vulgate of the Catholic church.

In "2. The authentic edition and versions" does Whitaker take a position on the TR?

Faith is the gift of God, wrought in the hearts of the elect by the Spirit of God; by which faith they come to know and believe the truth of the Scriptures, and the excellency of them above all other writings, and all things in the world, as they hold forth the glory of God in His attributes, the execellency of Christ in His nature and offices, and of the power and fulness of the Spirit in its [His] workings and operations; and so are enabled to cast their souls upon His truth thus believed.

We need a little historical perspective here. Whitaker's work was published in 1588. Whitaker does take note of textual variations, but he wrote before there was ever a discussion of the different textual traditions. The name textus receptus did not come into use until 1633 when the Elzevir partners published the second edition of their greek new testament. The title "Textus Receptus" came from the preface of this edition: "Textum ergo habes, nunc ab omnibus receptum."

Thank you. I thought it was published around 1650.
