Description
Summary:This collection of papers represents a selection of the contributions presented to the 2017 New Testament Textual Criticism colloquium, a meeting hosted bi-annually in Birmingham by David Parker and Hugh Houghton of the Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editing. All of the writers in this 2017 volume are experts in their particular field, associated in various roles with universities in Europe or the USA. Underpinning the choice of theme is the approach to textual criticism, set out in the introduction by Hugh Houghton, that pays attention to the traditions embodied by the extensive range of witnesses to the New Testament rather than seeking to retrieve or reconstitute the ‘original text’. The focus of the papers included here is on liturgical texts, seen as the ‘living voice’ of the New Testament, with consideration also given to other issues that address the notion of the text as constantly evolving rather than being fixed in one immutable form.
