Summary: A detailed and technical linguistic accounting
Review: The latest volume in outstanding "The Bible As Book" series, The Bible As Book: The Transmission Of The Greek Text is co-edited by Scot McKendrick (Curator of Classical, Byzantine and Biblical Manuscripts at The British Library) and Orlaith O'Sullivan (former Cataloguer of Manuscripts and Early Printed Books at The Scriptorium: Center for Christian Antiquities). The Bible As Book: The Transmission Of The Greek Text is a wide-ranging collection of fundamental essays by a wide variety of learned authors, and based on the proceedings of the annual Hereford Conferences sponsored by The Scriptorium: Center for Christian Antiquities, concerning the study and art of textual criticism of the Greek Bible. An extremely detailed and technical linguistic accounting that very meticulously deconstructs the Biblical text, with exhaustive research and reference designated by pages of footnotes for each essay, The Bible As Book: The Transmission Of The Greek Text is very highly recommended for advanced Bible study with its in-depth and scholarly focuses upon syntax and grammar issues when evaluating the biblical text in translation.
