Excerpt from The Revision Revised: Three Articles, I. The New Greek Text, II. The New English Version, III. Westcott and Horts New Textual Theory
Member of the revising Body.1 I called attention to the fact that, unacquainted with the difficult and delicate science Of Textual Criticism, the Revisionists had, in an evil hour, surrendered themselves to Dr. Hort's guidance: had preferred his counsels to those of Prebendary Scrivener, (an infinitely more trustworthy guide): and that the work before the public was the piteous - but inevitable - result.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a scathing critique of the Revised Version of the New Testament, published in 1881. The author, a distinguished theologian and textual critic, challenges the methods and conclusions of the revisers, particularly their reliance on the Greek text of Westcott and Hort. He argues that their approach, based on an untrustworthy textual theory, has resulted in a corrupted and inaccurate representation of the Scriptures. Set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century biblical scholarship and the ongoing debate surrounding textual criticism, the book delves into the complexities of manuscript evidence, versions, and patristic citations. The author meticulously examines key passages where the Revised Version deviates from the traditional text, exposing what he believes to be errors in translation, interpretation, and textual choices. Through rigorous analysis and passionate argument, the book raises profound questions about the authority and preservation of the biblical text. It explores the delicate balance between scholarly inquiry and fidelity to the received tradition, urging readers to critically engage with the process of revision and its implications for faith and understanding. Ultimately, this book serves as a compelling defense of the traditional text and a call for a more cautious and reverent approach to biblical scholarship.
