The essays in this volume, offered to dr. Jenny Read-Heimerdinger on the occasion of her 70th birthday, cover subjects in New Testament textual criticism that are central to her research. In particular, the volume contains text critical studies of the four Gospels, the book of the Acts of the Apostles, the early testimony of New Testament Greek and Coptic manuscripts and scribal tendencies in the first centuries, and linguistic approaches to textual criticism.
