    Seeing as Dr. James Price's area of expertise is the Hebrew Old Testament I would have thought that would be self evident.

    Well since his Doctorate is authentic I highly doubt it. </font>[/QUOTE]Oh, come now. For the record I admire Dr. Price greatly. I took Hebrew from him, and he is a member of a supporting church. But I don't think his doctorate being authentic has a thing to do with what he or anyone else believes about the TR. :rolleyes:

    For TR advocates, we could start with Edward F. Hills, who was a graduate of Yale for his undergrad, Westminster for his grad and then the Th. D. from Harvard. He was a genuine textual critic (unlike the vast majority writing on both sides today) who did substantive work in the Caesarean text. Hills was solidly on the side of the TR.

    Unless you prefer to distinguish between the TR and the Byzantine/Majority, you can add Byzanine/Majority advocates like Zane Hodges, Wilber Pickering, Harry Sturz, Maurice Robertson and many others. Personally, I consider the TR to be a form of the Byzantine/Majority, so I claim these guys. (I am TR/Byzantine/Majority preferred.)
