सारांश	Variant collation and the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM), developed by Gerd Mink at the Institute for New Testament Textual Research in Münster, address the central obstacle to editing the Greek New Testament: contamination. Because medieval scribes routinely copied from several exemplars at once, the New Testament tradition is too intermixed for a classical bifurcating stemma. Mink's solution, set out in his 2004 chapter in Studies in Stemmatology II, shifts the unit of analysis from whole manuscripts to individual variation passages. At each passage the editor decides which reading gave rise to which (a local stemma), and the method then aggregates these local decisions, using the coherence of agreement among witnesses, to infer the global flow of text and the relationships among witnesses. CBGM now underlies the Editio Critica Maior and the modern Nestle-Aland and UBS Greek New Testaments.	Historical-critical exegesis is the dominant scholarly approach to interpreting the Bible: it reads each text in its original language, genre, and historical setting in order to recover what its author meant and what its first audience would have understood. Rather than reading scripture through later doctrine or present concerns, it asks the historical question first. The method is not one technique but an integrated family that draws on textual, source, form, and redaction criticism, applying them within a grammatico-historical reading. Edgar Krentz's compact 1975 The Historical-Critical Method describes its rise, goals, and procedures, while John Barton's 2007 The Nature of Biblical Criticism offers a philosophical defense, arguing that biblical criticism is at heart a disciplined attention to what the text means in its literary and historical context.
