# Nestle-Aland 28 puts a critical Greek Pauline corpus on a public scholarly platform

Date: 2012

## The fact

In 2012 the Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft issued NA28, with online reading via academic-bible. Paul did not collate minuscules. Access to a citable Greek text is the path.

## Context

A critical text also freezes one apparatus. It still lets readers check household codes against variants.

[Paul the Apostle](/people/paul-the-apostle) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official Bible-society, Vatican, or library pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: German Bible Society — Nestle-Aland 28 online (https://www.die-bibel.de/en/bible/NA28/MAT.1; Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft).

## Significance

A 2012 NA28 is not a 50s autograph.

A 2012 NA28 is not a 50s autograph.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
