How can I use Logos to compare Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament to the Byzantine/Majority Textform Greek New Testament? I own these texts in Logos Bible Software. I think this might be accessible in Text Comparison but I cannot get it to work. I cannot find the acessible texts. I can only get English versions.

    Build a collection of those (e.g. with the rule type:bible lang:greek) and run the Text Comparison tool against that collection. In many verses it will give 0% difference between the Greek bibles, but in some verses it will give a difference. E.g. Eph 6:10 will show a difference between NA-style GNTs and Majority Text/Byzantine/TR-style GNTs

    In theory at least, the Nestle-Aland Greek contains everything in the Byzantine/Majority category. The difference is that much of it will be [bracketed] or in footnotes. But the entire text will be represented, if not in the critical text itself, then it will be noted in the apparatus.

    Text compare of the entire New Testament would give you results that would take a lot of time to sort out.

    Maybe there are complex searches which can filter results from the apparatus?

    Someone more experienced than myself with Logos will have to show you how to best retrieve this information.

    There are also many books written specifically on this topic.

    Click on the bible list to open the Selection menu in Text Comparison  e.g. I clicked on Byz

    The menu shows Byz already selected, under Books.

    Enter NA27 in the Find Box as shown and select one of the suggested bibles.

    Now you will have a comparison between the Byzantine Textform GNT  and a Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament.
