The Greek New Testament: Fourth Edition

The Greek New Testament: Fourth Edition, edited by Wayne A. Mitchell, is a groundbreaking advancement based on new discoveries in text criticism literature, which includes many recent findings on scribal habits in the copying of manuscripts. The critical apparatus contains over three thousand footnotes and cites ninety-five ancient Greek papyri, to papyrus 139, and over two hundred Greek majuscule manuscripts, often with early version and patristic evidence. In the endeavor to determine the exact wording of the New Testament autographs, the tools of textual criticism were seen as essential, and these were used from the perspective of a high view of Scripture which takes the New Testament's claims about authorship and origins of the books at face value. Thus, the task of identifying the original words was approached with additional care since the smallest detail is important. The edition is of value to students, pastors, and scholars alike. In hardcover, with ribbon marker, and margin space for notes.
