Book Synopsis



The Greek edition of the New Testament known as the Textus Receptus, from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, has thousands more words than earlier manuscripts of the second through fourth centuries. Major English translations based on the Textus Receptus, such as Tyndale's New Testament and the King James Version, have all these extra verses, phrases, and words.

This book clearly presents these additions to English readers and then explains why they were added. Scribes often made insertions based on their knowledge of the other gospels, other passages of Scripture, Christian theology, and oral traditions. By understanding the sources and probable reasons for the insertions, students and teachers of the Bible can make informed translation and interpretive decisions.



Review Quotes




In this book, Dr. Comfort amply fulfills his stated purpose of making it clear to English readers both what the additions to the original text are and why they were added. In doing so, he offers a real service both to lay readers, who may be confused when they encounter different readings in different translations, and also to pastors who may have forgotten the technicalities of textual criticism that they were taught in seminary. This book is a model of clarity and perspicuity. The reasons for the various judgments are stated both forthrightly and judiciously. I heartily recommend this book.--John Oswalt, Visiting Distinguished Professor of Old Testament "Asbury Theological Seminary" (8/1/2017 12:00:00 AM)

Philip Comfort has established a wide and deserved reputation for being a sensitive and extremely knowledgeable text critic of the New Testament. He also has a gift of clear and concise communication on what can be a rather technical discussion. Here he provides insight on the important question of the textual additions to the New Testament that are found in the Textus Receptus, which provides the background for the additions to the King James Version. All serious students of the Greek New Testament need to have this book in their library.--Tremper Longman, III, Distinguished Scholar of Biblical Studies "Westmont College" (8/1/2017 12:00:00 AM)
