Editing Critical Text

The Critical Text is the name commonly used for the Nestle Aland UBS text. 

:I am intrigued by the question of the response of the community whose [sacred] text has been “critically edited." Of course  when this is done, it no longer is a sacred text, because it is no longer the text which the community has always regarded as sacred; it is a scholars’ text. (Paul Ricoeur "The 'Sacred’ Text and the Community" in W. D. O'Flaherty, ed. The Critical Study of Sacred Texts 1979, p. 271.)
