The Novum Testamentum Graece is the basis for nearly every modern Bible translation. Used by scholars, pastors, students and translators, the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece is the standard and globally preeminent critical edition of the Greek New Testament. The 28th edition includes fundamental revisions for better clarity and usability. The text of Catholic Epistles now incorporates the text-critical insights of the Editio Critical Maior (ECM) of the Greek New Testament—the most recent scholarly research in establishing the Greek text. In addition, newly discovered Papyri 117–127 are listed for the first time, opening up interesting perspectives, particularly on the Acts of the Apostles. This product contains the critical apparatus of the text.

It's the New Testament in the original Greek. Reading ancient texts in their original languages is the only way to truly understand them. Nestle-Aland contains a critical apparatus which provides information important to scholars. ( )

While the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece is designed for scholarly research, the Greek New Testament, 4th Revised Edition is designed for translators and students. Like NA27, this is the leading edition of the original text of the New Testament. It contains the same Greek text as NA27, differing only in some details of punctuation and paragraphing. The format of UBS4 is in several respects more user-friendly for students and translators than NA27. It has a more spacious appearance and a larger font. English sub-headings assist in navigating the text for those who may be less familiar with Greek. Old Testament quotations appear in easily recognizable bold font. Synoptic parallels are clearly listed under English headings. Hendrickson Publishers distributing for German Bible Society

The introduction has very helpful information of textual criticism, especially in conjunction with Dr Metzger's Textual Commentary. The critical apparatus is provides numerous details on text variants and translation differences. With the recent passing of Bruce Metzger, we have lost two giants in the field of textual criticism. I'm not sure who is stepping up to continue their work. ( )

The standard scholarly edition of the New Testament in Greek: footnotes the most important differences among ancient manuscripts (in half a dozen different ancient languages.) An essential tool for anyone interested in what the New Testament says. (This book is all in Greek, so some Greek will be necessary to use it.)
