The New Testament in the Original Greek (Paperback)

Three decades in the making-editors Westcott and Hort began their work in 1853 and did not publish till 1881-this critical text, correcting errors made by the original scribes, was painstakingly assembled from four different kinds of source material; Syrian, also known as Byzantine, the newest; Western, considered somewhat less reliable; Alexandrian, the most elegant; and what the editors called "Neutral," dating from the 4th century. The New Testament in the Original Greek created a sensation among scholars of the day, who considered it a supremely accurate replica of the original text of the New Testament. It is still valued by scholars today, more than a century after its first publication, and celebrated for its erudition and accomplishment. It remains a vital resource for serious students of the Bible and of ancient literature.British theologian BROOKE FOSS WESTCOTT (1825-1901) was appointed Regius Professorship of Divinity at Cambridge University in 1870, and served as Bishop of Durham from 1890 until his death.Irish theologian and editor FENTON JOHN ANTHONY HORT (1828-1892), professor of divinity at Cambridge University, founded the Journal of Classical and Sacred Philology in 1854.
