Harris discusses the differences between the Western Text and the other textual traditions, and he provides examples of how the Western Text has influenced the interpretation of certain passages.The final lecture is a discussion of the Western Text in relation to the Book of Acts. Harris examines the textual differences between the Western Text and other manuscripts, and he discusses the implications of these differences for our understanding of the history of the early Christian church.Overall, ""Four Lectures on the Western Text of the New Testament"" is a scholarly work that provides a detailed examination of an important textual tradition of the New Testament.
