This book comprises a general survey of the study of New Testament documents, and outlines for students of the New Testament the basic tools and skills involved in studying those documents. The present edition is a thoroughly revised and updated version of Leon Vaganay's Initiation a la critique textuelle du Nouveau Testament, published in 1934, and each section of that original work has been brought up to date in light of the latest research in the field. Providing as it does a wide overview, rather that a step- by-step introduction, the book looks at its subject thematically, and its four chapters cover, respectively, the nature and character of the documents themselves; the methods of studying them; the history of the texts before they were printed; and their history subsequent to their printing. Prominent throughout is a concern to relate the subject to an enquiry into the earliest history of the New Testament (prior to AD 200), which provides an interesting personal perspective on an issue of some debate, yet without neglecting to examine conflicting opinions and views. In its aim to provide a solid foundation for the study of New Testament textual criticism, this comprehensive survey will be of great value to those who are looking for basic information about the subject; while the documentary information it contains about the extant manuscripts, and its original theoretical sections, will ensure that the book has much of value to offer the more advanced student of the New Testament.
