Mehr zum Buch

The book captures a significant 1897 debate at Oxford University between prominent scholars on textual criticism methods. It presents the contrasting views of Dean John William Burgon, who advocated for the Traditional Text, and Bishop B. F. Westcott and F. J. A. Hort, who favored a text derived from two ancient manuscripts. Edward Miller, assistant to Burgon, published the debate with the participants' consent, providing insights into the scholarly discourse of the time.
