Kirjan takakannesta:

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: Since the unexpected popularity of Bart Ehrman's bestselling Misquoting Jesus, textual criticism has become a staple of Christian apologetics. Ehrman's skepticism about recovering the original text of the New Testament does deserve a response. However, this renewed apologetic interest in textual criticism has created fresh problems for evangelicals. An unfortunate proliferation of myths, mistakes, and misinformation has arisen about this technical area of biblical studies.

In this volume Elijah Hixson and Peter Gurry, along with a team of New Testament textual critics, offer up-to-date, accurate information on the history and current state of the New Testament text that will serve apologists and Christian students even as it offers a self-correction to evangelical excesses.

Practically every aspect of New Testament textual criticism is addressed competently and clearly. Highly recommended!

I welcome this book that contains an enormous amount of useful information on the text of the New Testament in a form aimed to help people involved in apologetics.

What Elijah Hixson and Peter Gurry have provided in this handbook is a tool that every would-be defender of the Christian faith should purchase and regularly consult."
