Written for pastors and serious students of the Bible, this edition is designed to give more time and focus to the Greek text itself. The foundational question for any serious scholar of Scripture must be: “What is the text?” Only after establishing the text can one rightly ask, “What does it mean?”
The Sacred Writings of St. John the Apostle (Third Edition) presents the evolving history of the Received Text—from its earliest form to the eclectic text in use today. Through a color-coded Greek script, changes and developments in the text over time are clearly documented. The top line records the work of textual critics in their ongoing effort to reconstruct the original autographs.
A level-one English translation accompanies the Greek, functioning similarly to an interlinear Bible, to assist readers in navigating the text with clarity. Beneath this, presented in a parallel and vertical format, are the major Greek Uncials and published Papyri, some dating within twenty to forty years of the original writings.
The labor-intensive groundwork has been completed—now, your study can begin with the text itself.
