A sustained defense of the received Greek text of the four Gospels, laying out principles for textual criticism and arguing that readings preserved in the church's historical tradition are often the most authentic. The author examines manuscript groups, ancient versions, and patristic quotations; assesses major uncial and cursive witnesses; traces regional textual tendencies; and applies his criteria to disputed passages. Methodological chapters are followed by detailed collations and appendices addressing notable variants and versional evidence, combining practical manuscript study with broader arguments for preferring longstanding ecclesiastical readings.
