What people are saying - Write a reviewUser Review - Flag as inappropriate A reasonably well-written introduction to New Testament textual criticism which is more thorough than the title might lead readers to expect. Although other similar works are more detailed, the details in Vincent's book are informative and interesting. Despite writing with a measure of scholarly confidence, Vincent occasionally makes bad mistakes in his descriptions of materials, principles, and methodologies. This book is a prime example, for better or worse, of the "conventional wisdom" of text-critics in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Related books

Page 154 - A revision of the Greek text was the necessary foundation of our work ; but it did not fall within our province to construct a continuous and complete Greek text. In many cases the English rendering was considered to represent correctly either of two competing readings in the Greek, and then the question of the text was usually not raised. A sufficiently laborious task remained in deciding between the rival claims of various readings which might properly affect...
