Gnomon - The New Testament; Containing the Commentary on the Epistles of James, I. Peter, II. Peter, I. John, II. John, III. John, Jude, and the Apocalypse #233919

Bengel, in the main, laid hold of the true principle for the restoration of the genuine text, namely, that the preference should be given to the oldest mss. And Versions, though few, rather than to the more recent ones, however numerous. But those oldest mss. And Versions had not been so well collated as they have been more recently and we have the advantage of other ancient authorities, lately brought to light, which Benge] had not. The results of modern textual criticism are briefly, but fully, given In my notes; so that the reader can at a glance see the authorities for, and those against, every important reading. This, I venture to think, much enhances the value of this Translation.
