How We Got the New Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A welcome addition to the growing body of recent literature dealing with New Testament textual criticism and its corollaries, canon formation and Bible translation. Porter, however, does not simply deal with the traditional topics of text, transmission, and translation—though he does this well; he also delves much deeper into the emergent and controversial methodological reassessments that have been prompted by a reinvigorated discipline. Porter’s work not only serves as a helpful contribution to the ongoing discussions related to text-critical methodology but also seeks to extend the conversations originally framed by the luminous studies of individuals like Elliott, Epp, Holmes, Hurtado, Nida, and Parker.”
