Hello...

I am new to this forum and have been listening for only a couple
of days.

My name is Ben Loomes. I am a graduade in Composition (Music) at the
University of Sydney, NSW, Australia.

Your writing is good and some interesting issues are being handled.

My major work when I graduated last year was a research paper looking
at the works of one Australian Composer (Ian Shanahan) and his use of
Gematria (Isosephia) and Sacred Geometry in his works.

I am a Christian. (I hesitate at using any sort of adjective before
that word...)

I've done a lot of work on this subject, using many secondary sorces,
but now I am interested in finding different versionn of the
Greek New Testament. I have the Scrivener's one, and a Stephanus, but
these seem quite different from your typical United Bible Society
version.

I know there is a reason for this. (What is it?)

I want to get hold of a text which is most like the greek written by
the writers of the day.

What should I be looking for...?

Can anyone direct me to a page?

Or can anyone tell me what version is what?

If anyone could does this for me I would be very thankful.

With thanks,

Ben Loomes.
