Overview

This volume represents the best edition of Westcott and Hort’s classic text. According to Bruce M. Metzger, the Westcott and Hort Greek New Testament was “the most noteworthy critical edition of the Greek Testament ever produced by British scholarship.” They presented the oldest and purest text attainable with the means of information available in their day, took and refined the then-nascent critical methodology, and applied it to the various texts, producing the classification system that’s still in use today. Their evaluation of the various texts and text families, almost unchanged, is still accepted. This text, published in 1881, is the first modern critical text and, as such, the ancestor of the Nestle-Aland and United Bible Society texts. It is of use to those interested in the history of textual scholarship and those who do serious critical work. This particular edition of the 1881 Westcott and Hort text contains morphological analysis and has been thoroughly reviewed and corrected against the various print editions.
