عن كتاب EXPLICIT REFERENCES TO NEW TESTAMENT VARIANT READINGS AMONG GREEK AND LATIN CHURCH FATHERS:

In his introduction to New Testament textual criticism, Eberhard

Nestle stated a
desideratum, later repeated by Bruce Metzger, for a collection, arranged according to
time
and locality, of all passages in which the church fathers appeal to N
ew
T
estament
manuscript evidence. Nestle began
this
project with a list of references; Metzger
continued the work by examining the explicit references to variants by Origen and
Jerome
and expanding Nestle‟s list. This dissertation picks up where Metzger left off,
expanding and evaluating the list. The purpose is to contribute to
patristics and N
ew
T
estament
textual criticism in two ways: first, by providing a helpful catalogue o
f
patristic texts that refer to variant readings; and second, by analyzing the collected data
with a focus on the text
-
critical criteria used by the fathers.
The dissertation begins by considering the social and historical backdrop of the
early church,
es
pecially
textual scholarship in antiquity and its patristic application to the
O
ld
T
estament
. The explicit references to variants are then examined
, first by individual
father (organized by Greek and Latin), then by variant (for the va
riants discussed by
Amy M. Donaldson
multiple authors). This information is then summarized in terms of
literary genres in
which the references occur and the criteria used to evaluate the variants. After a
general
assessment of N
ew
T
estament
textual scholarsh
ip by the early church (including
recensional and scribal activity), patristic textual criticism is compared to modern
practice to assess to what extent the church fathers engaged in textual criticism and what
insights we can gain from them today.
The sec
ond
volume
contains the
c
atalogue
of explicit references to variants (each
entry includes the variants and their textual evidence in modern critical editions, the
Greek or Latin excerpt and English translation, and a brief discussion of
the context).
Passages that discuss textual problems but are not
explicit references to variant
s
are
collected
separate
ly
. In an appendix, the lists by Nestle and Metzger are compared
alongside the
list of
texts
in the
c
a
talogue
, followed by another appendix on Bede
, and a
third appendix
containing
a brief biography and bibliography
f
or each
father
cited in the
catalogue








book, in pdf format, authored, one of the most important studies that highlighted many of the interpretative references of the New Testament, and provided many readings of the Greek and Latin Church Fathers.

The first part of the book begins with the analytical part. Here we spoke about the New Testament and the analysis of the Greek Fathers and the Latin Fathers. It also presents various analyzes and discussions for a number of parents. It tells us about the purpose of interpreting texts and interpreting them in the early fathers, The second part of the book is devoted to the textual part, which lists a number of important texts and writings
