Description:
Widely used by scholars, translators, and seminarians, this authoritative Synopsis of the Gospels includes the Greek text of the Novum Testamentum Graece (NA27) with the full critical apparatus of the 26th edition (except for parallels from the apocryphal gospels and patristic sources). The English text is that of the Revised Standard Version, with variants using the King James and Revised Versions, and is set opposite the Greek.
Review Quotes:
"This well-known bilingual synopsis of the four gospels is remarkable for its extensive text-critical apparatus. More variant readings are listed here than in the standard editions of the Greek New Testament. The English (Revised Standard Version. text of 1971) is given on the page facing the Greek text, and also has a critical apparatus, this time not listing ancient manuscript authorities but various English bibles such as the King James Version and the American Standard Version (1901). For the present edition variant readings from papyri 90-111 have also been listed (mainly fragments from Matthew and John: the relevant papyri are mainly kept in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford). The user should be warned to use the present edition, and not very early ones. because the text-critical apparatus of the early editions of this synopsis is not reliable. --Aland. the original editor, died in 1994."
