Ken,

I'm impressed with the authorities you have amassed on the question of canon, and it all sounds very erudite. It even gives me pause.
But let me ask you about your practice at the World Bible Translation Center. If your translation team reaches a clear consensus that a couple of verses must have been interpolated into the text even prior to any of the extant manuscripts. Oh, let's say maybe 1 Cor 14:34-35 just for the sake of argument. Now you are convinced that these two verses are not Paul's words but an interpolation. I suspect that when the rubber hits the road your theory goes out the window and you keep those two verses in. Am I wrong about that? Do you omit them from your translation? Why or why not?

Chris

I obviously cannot answer for Ken. I do hold that those verses are a later interpolation. That does not remove them from the canonical text! It does mean that I seek to understand them within the framework of early Christian history as a later development as the church tries to fit into the societal norms about it--as the Epistle to Diognetus suggests!

Saying anything is an interpolation does NOT mean removing it from the New Testament.
