INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW TESTAMENT IN THE ORIGINAL GREEK

Westcott and Hort’s Introduction to the New Testament in the Original Greek is one of the most influential, innovative, pioneering books in New Testament Studies. It explained and clarified the methods of modern textual criticism (the process of attempting to ascertain the original wording of an original text) and impacted every edition of the Greek New Testament published since 1881. The book’s first section outlines the principles of text criticism, and the second section, Notes on Selected Readings, applies these principles to hundreds of passages in the New Testament—in essence, making a critical apparatus or textual commentary on essential passages.
