The Revision Revised (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. A Victorian Critique of New Testament Revision, Greek Manuscripts, and Bible TranslationBy John William Burgon
Length18h 26m
About this audiobook
The Revision Revised is John William Burgon's vigorous and learned assault on the English Revised Version of the New Testament and on the Greek textual principles that undergirded it. Written in a polemical, densely annotated, and forensic style, the work combines theological argument, close philological scrutiny, and manuscript evidence. Situated within the late-nineteenth-century controversy over biblical revision, it challenges the authority accorded to Codex Vaticanus and Codex Sinaiticus and defends the ecclesiastically received text as preserved in the Church's continuous usage. Burgon, an Anglican clergyman, biblical scholar, and later Dean of Chichester, wrote from within a tradition that valued both patristic testimony and the devotional authority of the Authorized Version. His years at Oxford, his antiquarian habits, and his deep attachment to the liturgical and doctrinal life of the Church shaped his suspicion of what he regarded as speculative textual innovation. The book reflects not mere conservatism, but a learned conviction about providence, transmission, and ecclesial witness. This volume is recommended to readers interested in the history of New Testament textual criticism, Victorian theology, and debates over Bible translation. Even where modern scholarship may dissent, Burgon's erudition, rhetorical force, and historical importance make the book indispensable for understanding the controversy surrounding the Revised Version.

12Letter To Bishop Ellicott, In Reply To His Pamphlet.
13[1] Preliminary Statement.
14[2] The Bishop's pamphlet was anticipated and effectually disposed. of, three weeks before it appeared, by the Reviewer's. Third Article.
15[3] Bp. Ellicott remonstrated with for his unfair method of. procedure.
16[4] (Which be “ the recognized principles of Textual Criticism ” ?—a. question asked in passing.)
17[5] Bp. Ellicott's and the Reviewer's respective methods, contrasted.
18[6] Bp. Ellicott in May 1870, and in May 1882.
19[7] “ The fabric of modern Textual Criticism ” (1831-81). rests on an insecure basis.
20[8] Bp. Ellicott's strange notions about the “ Textus Receptus. ”
21[9] The Reviewer vindicates himself against Bp. Ellicott's misconceptions.
22[10] Analysis of contents of Bp. Ellicott's pamphlet.
23[11] Bp. Ellicott's account of the “ Textus Receptus . ”
24[12] Bp. Ellicott derives his estimate of the “ Textus Receptus ” from Westcott and Hart's fable of a “ Syrian Text . ”
25[13] Bp. Ellicott has completely adopted Westcott and Hort's. Theory.
26[14] The Question modestly proposed,—Whether Bp. Ellicott's. adoption of Westcott and Hort's “ new Textual Theory ” does. not amount to (what lawyers call) “ Conspiracy ” ?
27[15] Proofs that the Revisers have outrageously exceeded the. Instructions they received from the Convocation of the Southern. Province.
28[16] The calamity of the “ New Greek Text ” traced to its source.
29[17] Bp. Ellicott's defence of the “ New Greek Text, ” in sixteen. particulars, examined.
30[18] Bp. Ellicott's claim that the Revisers were guided by “ the. consentient testimony of the most ancient Authorities, ” —disproved. by an appeal to their handling of S. Luke ii. 14 and. of S. Mark xvi. 9-20. The self-same claim,—(namely, of. abiding by the verdict of Catholic Antiquity,) —vindicated,. on the contrary, for the “ Quarterly Reviewer. ”
31[19] “ GOD was manifested in the flesh ” Shown To Be The True Reading Of 1 Timothy III. 16. (pt. 1)
