Bruce Manning Metzger, New Testament professor emeritus at
Princeton Theological Seminary, died in February 2007 at the age of
93. This volume in his honour was already in preparation, and has
become of necessity a memorial volume rather than the Festschrift
that was intended. Metzger has been called the greatest American
New Testament critic and biblical translator of the twentieth
century. Among his writings most commonly cited are his classic
studies The Text of the New Testament, its Transmission, Corruption
and Restoration (1964) and The Early Versions of the New Testament,
their Origin, Transmission, and Limitations (1977). He was also
Chair of the Committee of Translators for the New Revised Standard
Version of the Bible (published 1990). The first of these two
wide-ranging and often innovative volumes created in his honour,
subtitled Interpretation of the Text for the Community, falls into
two parts: The Nature of the Bible: Manuscripts, Texts, and
Translation (e.g. an ancient papyrus biblical fragment, biblical
exegesis in the third world), and Understanding the Bible:
Hermeneutics (e.g. biblical interpretation in Paul in its cultural
context). The second volume, on Implementation of the Text in the
Community, has as its two parts, The Church and the Bible: Pulpit
and Parish (e.g. pastoral care and the Bible) and The Academy,
Science, Culture, Society, and the Bible (e.g. psychological method
and the historical Jesus, Jungian and Freudian perspectives on
gender in the Gospel of John).
