Westcott and Hort's Textual Revolution
- Westcott and Hort revolutionized textual criticism by incorporating newly found manuscripts into the main Greek New Testament text.
- Their work reflected more manuscript evidence than previous editions, reshaping textual foundations.
Nestle-Aland's Standard Text
- The 20th-century Nestle-Aland editions set the gold standard for Greek New Testament texts.
- Modern Bible translations largely base their New Testament on these widely accepted editions.
Major Greek Manuscript Families
- Two major manuscript families are key: Alexandrian (older, fewer) and Byzantine Majority (more numerous, later).
- Modern translations tend to use Alexandrian texts; King James uses Byzantine Majority tradition.
