This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. The field of textual criticism remains an exciting one. Thousands of manuscripts have been recovered in recent years. Using the methods of textual criticism, translators have been able to discern from these manuscripts a probably reading of the original New Testament text, a difficult but important task. Several scholarly books describing the process of textual criticism have already been written, but Encountering New Testament Manuscripts is uniquely different in its approach. Here students have an opportunity to see and read portions of the chief manuscripts for themselves and to learn firsthand the principles of textual criticism. Included are twenty-four photographs of some of the oldest and most important manuscripts, including papyri, parchment, and paper texts with both uncial and miniscule script. Through the steps of transcribing the original manuscripts and organizing the various evidences presented, the student learns to develop conclusions about the reading of the original text. A comprehensive introductory chapter surveying the nature and history of textual criticism and a concluding chapter on the question of methodology make this book a complete course on the subject. Helpful indices and lists of important New Testament manuscripts make it an excellent resource volume as well.… (més)
waltzmn: Finegan's book gives a very light overview of paleography, but not enough to really know the discipline. Although it is very old, and needs supplementation, Thompson's book remains the single most important volume in the field.

Book can have multiple personality disorder just as much as people.
I'm honestly not sure if this book wants to be primarily about textual criticism (that is, determining the original text of the New Testament), or about paleography (that is, the study of ancient writing and what it tells us about manuscripts), or about the evolution of text-types within the New Testament tradition.
There are major sections on each of these topics. The first quarter of the book is mostly about how ancient manuscripts were made -- paleography. The next quarter is about textual criticism. Then we start seeing actual manuscript photos -- but they're organized into "sequences" illustrating the (alleged) history of text-types. Then we get "conclusions" and "the future task" to try to bind it all together.
The best part of the book is probably the manuscript photos. It would be nicer if they were in color, but the book is from the 1970s.... There is useful analysis of each manuscript page shown, with a transcription into modern Greek lettering and information about abbreviations and such. This will be a genuine help to the beginner trying to learn Greek handwriting (especially minuscule handwriting, which is the hardest to read). But to really learn this topic requires more samples. And the other sections are even less complete.
Plus the author is really, really wordy. Many of his sentences are longer than a better writer's paragraphs.
On the whole, I would have to consider this more a first taste than a genuine introduction. It's good to have all those samples and analysis, but you'll need far, far more to learn to be either a paleographer or a textual critic. ( )

Preface While there are many other works on the textual criticism of the Greek New Testament -- to not a few of which acknowledgment is made in the references in this book -- it is hoped that the present book may have its place also, and fhat for two reasons in particular.

Examples of some of our own judgments of this sort, provisional as all judgments in historical questions must be, but illustrative, we hope, of sound procedures, have been given in earlier portions of the present book; indeed the entire book is intended to provide background for reading with understanding the texts that lie before us and for finding our way in them as far as possible toward the original word.
