Greek New Testament

5B, 1829 Pocket edition

Notes

The Greek New Testament of 1829, commonly associated with the scholar Johann Jakob Griesbach, marks a significant milestone in biblical scholarship. This edition applied textual criticism to the New Testament, aiming to establish a more accurate representation of the original Greek texts. Griesbach's method classified manuscripts into textual families and evaluated their reliability, emphasizing older and geographically diverse sources. This approach influenced subsequent Greek New Testament editions, contributing to a deeper understanding of the text's historical transmission and laying the groundwork for modern critical editions.
