Westcott-Hort Greek New Testament
The Westcott-Hort Greek New Testament is a critical edition of the New Testament in Greek, first published in 1881 by scholars B.F. Westcott and F.J.A. Hort. This work aimed to provide a more accurate text by comparing various ancient manuscripts, focusing on the earliest and most reliable sources. Their approach emphasized the importance of textual criticism in understanding the original writings of the New Testament.
The Westcott-Hort text has significantly influenced modern biblical scholarship and translations. It served as a foundation for many subsequent Greek New Testament editions, including the widely used Nestle-Aland and United Bible Societies texts. The work remains a key reference for theologians, historians, and linguists studying early Christianity.
