The Preaching & Sacred Writings of St. Peter the Apostle kata St. Mark

Written for pastors and serious Bible scholars, this work is designed to free more time for in-depth study of the Greek text. The first and most important question for any scholar is, “What is the text?” Only after establishing this foundation can one rightly ask, “What does it mean?”

The Sacred Preaching & Writings of St. Peter the Apostle presents the “Received Text” from its earliest form to the present—a truly eclectic text underlying all major modern translations. Changes throughout history are shown in color-coded Greek script. The top line records the textual critic’s reconstruction of the earliest attainable form of the text. A level-one English translation accompanies it, functioning much like an interlinear Bible.

Beneath this, in a parallel vertical layout, appear the major Greek Uncials and published Papyri. Several of these manuscripts date to within twenty to forty years of the original autographs. The painstaking groundwork has already been completed, allowing you to focus entirely on the text itself. Every verb in the top-line eclectic text has been parsed, with its first-person indicative form clearly identified for your convenience.
