Majority Text: Essays and Reviews in the Continuing Debate

by Theodore P. Letis (Editor)

The papers presented in this Symposium make a very positive contribution to the study of the transmission of the printed text of the New Testament. From the work of Erasmus, Stephens, Beza, a Greek text was available to the 1611 translators of the KJV, the total spiritual impact of which has had far–reaching consequences for the spread of Christianity, a remarkable phenomenon freely acknowledged by all.

Good.

[A.J. Jr. · Rating 5 out of 5]

An important collection of essays regarding the Textus Receptus, the Majority Text, the Modern Critical Text, as well as the assumptions and presuppositions underlying each of these positions. The Textus Receptus is preferred.

[Lily-joseph Jo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Present textual criticism consider many things in the critical texts as the truth without serious contemplation. I believe any Christian interested in this science needs to hear the voice of the other side. Thought-provoking book.
