Synopsis

A comprehensive reference to the history and interpretation of the New Testament text, designed to guide readers through complex scholarly debates.

This volume offers a broad, careful survey of how the New Testament has been read, edited, and understood across centuries. It introduces readers to the main questions scholars wrestle with, including authorship, dating, and the relationships among the gospels and other writings. It also traces the development of textual criticism, manuscript evidence, and philological methods that shape modern study.

  • How scholars analyze the relationships between the gospels and the idea of a common written source.
  • Major discussions about who wrote certain Epistles, when they were written, and how that affects interpretation.
  • The history of the text, from manuscripts to translations, and what textual variants mean for reading the Bible.
  • The evolution of Greek language study and lexicography in the study of the New Testament.
Ideal for readers of biblical history, textual criticism, and the history of early Christian texts.
