The Text of the New Testament: An Introduction to the Critical Editions and to the Theory and Practice of Modern Textual Criticism

The definitive introduction to New Testament textual criticism is now revised and enlarged! The Alands compare the major editions of the New Testament, describe and analyze the Greek manuscripts in detail, and discuss the value of early versions. Particularly noteworthy are their introduction to the use of modern editions of the Greek New Testament and their greater sensitivity to differing viewpoints. Two new supplementary essays are included in addition to revised plates, tables, and charts.
