Synopsis

This book re-evaluates the textual criticism of the New Testament. The author, himself well-regarded as a theologian, dissects criticisms of the 'Received Text' of the New Testament, which was put forward by Westcott and Hort in 1881. The author believes that while Westcott and Hort's approach was methodologically sound in many respects, they were overconfident in their methodology, and their conclusions are not necessarily correct. The book argues that the Received Text is not necessarily inferior to the original autographs of the gospels, and that Westcott and Hort's rejection of it may have roots in their theological presuppositions more than in the evidence they present. It questions the idea that the oldest manuscripts necessarily represent the original autographs of the New Testament. The book suggests there is value in considering manuscript evidence from every period.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
