UNLOCKING THE SECRETS OF THE EARLIEST NEW TESTAMENT MANUSCRIPTS

For centuries, the manuscripts that form the Greek New Testament have been scattered throughout the world, accessible only to scholars and professionals. But now, Philip Wesley Comfort bridges the gap between these extant copies and today’s critical text by providing accurate transcriptions of the earliest New Testament manuscripts, accompanied by photographs on facing pages. This allows students and scholars to make well-informed decisions about the translation and interpretation of the New Testament.

A COMPREHENSIVE COLLECTION OF EARLY MANUSCRIPTS

Volume 1 includes manuscripts from Papyrus 1-72, while Volume 2 includes manuscripts from Papyrus 75-139, as well as from the uncials. A special section on determining the date of a manuscript provides valuable insights. This two-volume set replaces the previously published single volume Text of the Earliest New Testament Greek Manuscripts, featuring many new manuscripts, updated research, and higher quality images.

ENDORSED BY SCHOLARS AND EXPERTS

Leading scholars and experts in the field have praised this work for its accuracy, comprehensiveness, and accessibility. J. Ramsey Michaels calls it “a major achievement,” while Peter H. Davids appreciates the convenience of having the manuscripts in a single space. John N. Oswalt notes that the second edition “only enhances the work’s usefulness,” and Darrell L. Bock finds it a “useful study” that reveals the state of the discussion about these important manuscripts.
