Title The Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels
Note Reading ease score: 43.7 (College-level). Difficult to read.
Summary "The Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels" by John William Burgon is a scholarly treatise on textual criticism of the New Testament, likely composed in the late 19th century. This work seeks to establish and vindicate the Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels against modern critical challenges, exploring the manuscript history and various interpretations of the New Testament. It presents a case for the primacy of older manuscripts and the dominance of certain readings based on their historical evidence and adherence to ecclesiastical authority. The opening of the work details the legacy of Burgon's extensive research and outlines the intentions behind the treatise. Edward Miller, who arranged and edited the text following Burgon's death, recounts the meticulous preparations made by the late Dean over more than three decades, with a focus on gathering and collating textual evidence. The introduction lays the groundwork for a rigorous discussion about the principles of textual criticism, aiming to navigate differences between various manuscript traditions and establish the reliability of the Traditional Text through an array of supporting testimonies gathered from ancient sources.
