Editorial Reviews

Review

'Elliott and Moir have on the whole accomplished their purpose of showing the need for textual criticism and of explaining the major principles behind it. This book could be used not only by theological students and general readers, but by students in beginning NT courses as well.'
Roderic L. Mullen, Durham, USA, Review of Biblical Literature

This review is from: Manuscripts and the Text of the New Testament: An Introduction for English Readers (Paperback)

This book is a valuable resource for students of the New Testament. Elliott, a proponent of thoroughgoing eclecticism, does not promulgate it in this book. Rather, he addresses the field in such a way that the novice text critic is able to learn about the discipline without bias toward any approach. This book is definitely a keeper, a good investment.

This review is from: Manuscripts and the Text of the New Testament: An Introduction for English Readers (Paperback)

This work is valuable to the serious student of the Word of God. The book presents evidence for and against various readings, explains the variants, and has great pictures. For the student who wishes to determine the correct text of the New Testament, this is a great find.
