F. F. Bruce commented on the first edition, "I am glad to give it my warm commendation. As an introduction to the criticism of the New Testament it has . . . no equal in English." Since Bruce's comments on the original edition thirty years ago, this clear and comprehensive introduction to New Testament textual criticism has remained a popular text for beginning and intermediate students."A celebrated pedagogue who has kept abreast of his field for over four decades, Harold Greenlee is uniquely suited to produce an introduction to the complex world of New Testament textual criticism. His first edition provided lucid explanations of the most important aspects of the field, making it an ideal introduction for beginning students. For this second edition, Greenlee has revised significant features of his presentation, ensuring that this will be a useful and important primer for years to come."" Bart D. Ehrman, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Chair, NT Textual Criticism Section of the Society of Biblical Literature"It is good to have Greenlee's primer available again, for nowhere else will one find explanations of and introductions to so wide a range of critical editions of the New Testament" from Tischendorf to UBS, including the lesser known but still valuable editions of Souter, Merk, Bover, and Legg. The student who works through Greenlee's discussion of the praxis of textual criticism will learn the craft from a reliable guide."" Michael W.

waltzmn: There are many ways to approach textual criticism, and sometimes the disagreements can be sharp. But not between J. Harold Greenlee and Bruce M. Metzger; their approaches are very similar. Metzger's book teaches many of the same lessons as Greenlee's, but at somewhat greater length and in more detail. Of course, this means they share weaknesses as well as strengths. But readers wanting a longer or shorter overview of the same rather "Hortian" viewpoint can choose Greenlee for brevity or Metzger for depth.… (más)

This little book on textual criticism -- the art of reconstructing a lost original from badly copied later manuscripts -- is a simple, straightforward read. But it is, quite simply, too short. New Testament textual criticism is a vast field. You need to know a lot about the manuscripts. You need to know about the early translations ("version") in Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, and other languages. You need to know about early authors who quote the Bible. You need to know the rules of criticism. You need to know about earlier attempts to reconstruct the New Testament text, and what they have taught us.
And this book just doesn't have room for it all. You get a brief outline of why we need textual criticism, and brief hints about the materials (not all of them accurate, particularly given what has been kicked up by computer analysis since Greenlee's time), and a few rules of thumb. But there is much more to be said. And this book doesn't do it. By all means, get it if you're willing to read other books as well. But if you're only going to own one book on textual criticism, this surely won't be enough to meet your needs. ( )
This clear and comprehensive introduction to New Testament textual criticism has been a popular text for decades. Diagrams, an appendix of Latin terms, supplementary readings, a bibliography, and an index make this revised edition an invaluable resource.
