The following text is in the Manuscripts sections:
It is believed that the material in the Western text which isn't in the Alexandrian text reflects later theological developments within Christianity. For examples, the Western text features a greater hostility to Judaism and a more positive attitude towards Gentile Christianity. Some also note that the Western text attempts to minimize the emphasis Acts places on the role of women in the early Christian church.
Considering it is uncited and was tagged with a "need reference" comment in December 2009, my suggestion is that the paragraph be deleted as "one person's opinion" and not even a really good one (as the "greater hostility to Judaism is highly questionable).

In the paragraph entitled "Manuscripts", it says that the "Textus Receptus... first...to be printed". This is not true.
The article on the Complutensian Bible notes that it contained the first printed Greek New Testament. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.35.101 (talk) 15:15, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, could you explain why you have removed very important and relevant sourced statements on the sources section? Here is what was removed: According to the Bible, the ultimate source of all scripture, including Acts, is God Himself. We are told in 2 Timothy 3:16: "All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God...." Therefore, Christians believe that Luke was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write God's very words.[1] This does not violate any policy. You are removing the Christian view of the source of Acts with a RS. This is the Christian view as explicitly mentioned here and sourced. Man, people really don't follow WP policy unless they agree with it. Major bias! WalkerThrough (talk) 01:03, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
