The Revision Revised

In "The Revision Revised," John William Burgon embarks on a meticulous examination of the textual integrity of the New Testament, specifically confronting the modern methodologies of biblical criticism that emerged in the 19th century. Written with Burgon's characteristic eloquence and rigor, the work exhibits a blend of theological insight and scholarly precision, challenging the prevailing critical theories of his time. Engaging with both the historical context and textual variants, Burgon advocates for a return to a more traditional understanding of biblical texts, positing that contemporary revisions have, in many respects, misrepresented the original scripture. John William Burgon, a prominent Anglican clergyman and biblical scholar, was deeply invested in the preservation of biblical texts. His background in both literature and theology, coupled with his experiences at Oxford and his role as Dean of Chichester, informed his passionate defense of what he considered to be the authentic transmission of the New Testament. This work reflects his critical stance against the text alterations proposed by contemporaries such as Westcott and Hort, shaping discussions on textual criticism that resonate through to modern debates. For readers keen on biblical scholarship, "The Revision Revised" is an essential text that not only critiques contemporary methodologies but also encourages deeper contemplation on the values underpinning textual fidelity. This book serves as a thought-provoking gateway for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the interplay between faith and academic rigor in understanding sacred texts.
