A Commentary on Textual Additions to the New Testament

Philip Comfort has established a wide and deserved reputation for being a sensitive and extremely knowledgeable text critic of the New Testament. He also has a gift of clear and concise communication on what can be a rather technical discussion. Here he provides insight on the important question of the textual additions to the New Testament that are found in the Textus Receptus, which provides the background for the additions to the King James Version. All serious students of the Greek New Testament need to have this book in their library. -- Westmont College

In this book, Dr. Comfort amply fulfills his stated purpose of making it clear to English readers both what the additions to the original text are and why they were added. In doing so, he offers a real service both to lay readers, who may be confused when they encounter different readings in different translations, and also to pastors who may have forgotten the technicalities of textual criticism that they were taught in seminary. This book is a model of clarity and perspicuity. The reasons for the various judgments are stated both forthrightly and judiciously. I heartily recommend this book. -- Asbury Theological Seminary
