Textual Criticism

The Journey of the New Testament in Becoming a Book and the Relevance of New Testament Textual Criticism traces the evolution of the New Testament documents through their oral base, their written stages, their canonical formation as these intersect with their multiple (hand-copied) manuscript attestations. The nexus of all these factors illustrate the position that while the New Testament became a book, it presently continues to become a book. Its evolutionary life continues and the modern interpreter functions as part of its ongoing inspiration.
