The First Step in Biblical Interpretation        Rating:

This text is clear and concise. Metzger has been the preeminent voice in New Testament textual criticism for decades, yet gives a balanced view of the evidence for each variant. His passing leaves a void is the discipline. The text is necessarily brief, and this adds to it's accessibility and appeal. It is indispensable to any serious student of God's Word, because it contains so much information which other commentaries in recent generations have neglected and to which previous generation lacked access. It should rest opened next to your New Testament whenever the study of a passage begins. Before we do what Scripture requires, we must know what Scripture means, before we can know what it means we must understand what is written, before we can understand what is written we must determine what the authors originally wrote. This is what this text helps us determine.

A very readable commentary on the variant readings of the New Testament, written by a famous scholar.

Essential        Rating:

The Reviews by Turner, Bohiken, Tucker, Glaaser, and Bielby are excellent and explain in some detail why this book is essential If you are a student or user of the New Testament.

It helps to know Greek. But if you can distinguish Greek letters you can literally see how words vary and you can take Metzger's word for what they mean.

This book is essential for study of the UBS4: The New Greek-English Interlinear New Testament (Personal Size).
