Summary:

"Bodmer Papyri, Scribal Culture, and Textual Transmission presents a collection of Gordon Fee's seminal works on New Testament textual criticism. His meticulous and thorough examination of New Testament papyrus Bodmer P66 (1968) insightfully describes its textual character and significant relationship to P75 and other early manuscripts. P66 and P75, among our most important and earliest papyri, were published only a half-dozen years before Fee's volume, which has been heavily used and influential ever since. Prominent is his discovery of scribal activity in P66 that tended to correct its text toward the Byzantine. Fee's ten successive, often quoted articles contribute substantially to our understanding of textual transmission and text-critical methodology, with an emphasis also on patristic citations. Completed with ample bibliographical resources, this volume is an indispensable resource for future research. Distinguished book reviewers wrote about Fee (1968): "full scale study" (Kilpatrick); "definitive analysis" (Metzger); "a most valuable work, ... which greatly advances the discipline of textual criticism in knowledge and method" (Birdsall)"-- Provided by publisher.
