Greek New Testaments

There are many different manuscript variations available. These can be divided into three main groups, the ancient family, the majority family and the Textus Receptus. The Textus Receptus is really an eclectic text derived from seven manuscripts from the majority family. Since it is an important task to determine which text is most accurate, texts from all families are listed here. No matter where you land in the realm of textual criticism it is important to have a good feel as to what is in each manuscript. Since many people would like recommendations to work on textual criticism as well as other original writings, a category for textual criticism is also listed here.

2. Greek New Testaments with Parallel Languages:

There are many New Testaments with parallel languages. These can assist Greek reading or allow your Greek knowledge to help you learn other languages, like Latin. Some say that Greek New Testaments which have a parallel in another language are too much of a crutch. If a crutch they be big or small it is better to use them than never walk at all.
