On 28–29 May 2026 (Thursday and Friday), the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts will host a gathering of scholars in Plano, Texas (a suburb of Dallas). This will be the third meeting of The CSNTM Text & Manuscript Conference.
The theme for this 2026 meeting is “The Editio Critica Maior, Exegesis, and Translation” and will feature plenary presentations throughout each day with optional breakout sessions. Together, we’ll consider how developments in the Editio Critica Maior (ECM) influence New Testament exegesis, translation, and theology.
The Plenary Presenters
Dr. Gregory S. Paulson
Research Associate and Project Coordinator
Institute for New Testament Textual Research (INTF)
