Summary: "The Revision Revised" by John William Burgon is a critical examination of the revisions made to the Greek text and English translation of the New Testament, likely written in the late 19th century. This work consists of essays originally published in the "Quarterly Review," focusing on the shortcomings of the new textual theories proposed by scholars such as Westcott and Hort. Burgon aims to defend the integrity of the traditional biblical text against what he perceives as flawed revisions, emphasizing the reliability of the Authorized Version. The opening of "The Revision Revised" establishes a context of controversial debate surrounding a recent revision of the New Testament texts. Burgon articulates his strong disapproval of the changes made by the Revisers, asserting that their new Greek text is built upon unsound principles and lacks historical foundation. He indicates that his writing emerged from a desire to protect the traditional readings of scripture, recounting the arguments and critiques he presented in the original essays. The introduction serves as a robust preface to his detailed analysis of the revisions, laying the groundwork for Burgon's meticulous defense of the original texts and their translations.
