6. BOISMARD, M.É., L’énigme de la lettre aux Éphésiens (Études Bibli-
ques). Paris (Gabalda) 1999, 189 pp. In this book the a. contends
that the core of this letter is Pauline. It is a baptismal liturgy
expanded by a later writer with extracts from Colossians. Rom
16:3-15 belongs to this Ephesian letter. See book review by J.K.

7. ELLIOTT, J.K., A Bibliography of Greek New Testament Manuscripts
(SNTSMS 109). Cambridge (Univ. Press) 22000, XXV + 287 pp.
This second edition (See NTPhilBull 5,16) includes new material
published since 1989 and some other complements to the first
edition. See book review by D.C. Parker in NT 43 (2000) 89-91.
8. FOSTER, P., “A Tale of Two Sons: But Which One Did the Far, Far
Better Thing? A Study of Matt 21.28:32â€, NTS 47 (2001) 26-37.
“The parable of the two sons occur in three variant textual forms.
Despite the tendency of commentators to follow the Nestle-
Aland text, which is based on the Synaiticus textual form, the
strong support in the tradition for each type of variant reading
requires the textual question to be reassessed. It is argued that
although the Synaiticus reading represents the pre-Matthean
form of the parable, it was Matthew, and not a later scribe, who
changed the order of the sons in order to privilege the second
Son. This aligns with the evangelists concern to depict the re-
jection and replacement of the Jewish scholarship. Yet, although
the Vaticanus reading reflects the authentic Matthean form of
the parable, the earlier Synaiticus form resurfaced and intruded
itself into the MSS traditionâ€.

10. KRAUS, T.J., “‘Slow Writers - βÏαδÎως γÏάφοντες: What, How Much
and How Did they Write?â€, Eranos 97 (1999) 86-97. This art. first
explains the concept of βÏαδÎως γÏάφοντες clumsy, irregular in
upright, separately uncials. Then it comments S. Hunger’s char-
acterization of 7Q5 (Mk 6:52-53) as a product of a ‘slow writer’.
The conclusion is that this idea raises questions on the nature of
that Qumran text.
11. LOBA MKOLE, J.C., “Disclosure of the Messianic Secret in Mk 14:62? A
text Critical Responseâ€, Neotestamentica 33 (1999) 113-123. In
Mk 14:62 the a. favors the shorter reading (á¼Î³ÏŽ εἰμι) of external
and internal considerations. In this case, the centurion in 15:39
repeats what Jesus has already said at 14:62.
