N2 - The criticisms voiced a century ago against eclectic editions are very similar to those that may be voiced today. For example, the reconstruction by Torrey in 1927 of the archetype of the parallel Psalms 14 and 53 was criticized the following year by Budde, who at the same time presented his own reconstruction in a much longer study!42 The idea of producing eclectic (critical) editions is logical and has much to recommend it, but too many theoretical and practical problems stand in our way. Further, what should we do if two parallel eclectic editions of the same biblical book are published? Should we read the Bible according to Smith or according to Johnson?
