Bible - Greek New Teastament; Alford, Henry.
THE GREEK TESTAMENT: With a Critically Revised Text: A Digest of Various Readings: Marginal References To Verbal and Idiomatic Usage: Prolegomena: And a Critical and Exegetical Commentary. For the Use of Theological Students and Ministers. In Four Volumes
Four Volumes. Text in English and Greek. All edges marbled. 225mm. Original full leather bindings rubbed and worn. Original morocco spine labels. Sixth edition. Hardbound. Very good. Henry Alford (1810-1871) was an English churchman (Dean of Canterbury), theologian, textual critic, scholar, poet, hymnodist, and writer. "His chief fame rests on this monumental edition of the New Testament in Greek, which occupied him from 1841 to 1861. In this work he first produced a careful collation of the readings of the chief manuscripts and the researches of the ripest continental scholarship of his day. Philological rather than theological in character, it marked an epochal change from the old homiletic commentary, and though more recent research, patristic and papyral, has largely changed the method of New Testament exegesis, Alford's work is still a quarry where the student can dig with a good deal of profit." - Wiki.
