About This Book

A collection of critical essays argues against recent revisions of the New Testament text, examining the editors' proposed Greek text, the corresponding English rendering, and the textual theory that underpins them. The writer challenges reliance on a limited manuscript base, disputes conjectural emendations and awkward translation choices, and defends traditional readings, offering a point-by-point reply to a published defence by an opponent. Appendices and indexes compile manuscript evidence and patristic citations to reinforce a cumulative textual and philological case.

About the Author

John William Burgon

John William Burgon was an English theologian, biblical scholar, and author, known for his contributions to the field of textual criticism of the New Testament. He served as the Dean of Chichester and was a prominent advocate for the traditional text of the Holy Scriptures. His notable works include "Inspiration and Interpretation: Seven Sermons Preached Before the University of Oxford," where he explores the nature of biblical inspiration, and "The Causes of the Corruption of the Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels," which examines the historical integrity of the Gospel texts. Burgon's scholarship remains influential among those studying biblical texts and their transmission.
