Textual Issues of the Pericope Adulterae and finding info in Logos

Christian Alexander

The Pericope Adulterae has posed a complicated and complexly intricate textual problem for many centuries. It is my purpose in my paper to give an overview of the textual issues in the passage, explore issues relating the pericope to the New Testament canon, and discuss how the text might be handled in academic discussions as well as in sermons and pastoral formations. How can Logos help me with this?

How can Logos help me with this? 

• Lookup the passage in those Greek New Testaments that have a text-critical apparatus, try to understand what they say (e.g. which manuscripts do contain it, which don't)
• Lookup the passage in textual commentaries on the GNT, such as Metzger, Omanson
• Lookup the passage in "Exegetical Summaries" which will treat such questions
• Read technical commentaries on the passage 

This all will give you much information on the textual problem and how to treat it in academic discussion. I think you will need to find a position for yourself to answer the pastoral question.
