A Course of Developed Criticism on Passages of the New Testament Materially Affected by Various Readings
Overview
This unique text offers a textual analysis of the New Testament, focusing on passages significantly affected by variant readings in the manuscript tradition. While the vast majority of alternate readings dealt with in textual criticism consist of largely inconsequential variations such as spelling, the interpretation and exegesis of several passages is notably affected by which variant is adopted. It is these passages that Thomas Sheldon Green deals with in this helpful study.
