Excerpt from Codex B and Its Allies, Vol. 1: A Study and an Indictment
I proceed to name the aforesaid scholar, since he has challenged me. Dr. A. Souter began a review of my Genesis of the Versions by saying that It is the business of a critic first to destroy his enemy's position before he seeks to build up his own.
He ended by expressing gratitude for my collations of mss as such, but added some very strong advice to hold my tongue as regarded commenting on the evidence so painfully accumulated, which he and others would use-but which I must not use or discuss. He said: We cannot aford to do without his valuable cooperation in New Testament textual criticism, but would suggest that he confine his energies to the collection and accurate presentation of material, and leave theorizing to others, at least meantime.
I refuse to be bound by such advice. I demand a fair hearing on a subject very near my heart, and with which by close attention for many years I have tried to make myself sufficiently acquainted to be able and qualified to discuss it with those few who have pursued a parallel course of study.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and complex world of New Testament textual criticism, specifically focusing on the historical and documentary evidence surrounding Codex B, a prominent manuscript. The author challenges the widely accepted view of Codex B as a "neutral text," free from the influences of other textual traditions. Through meticulous analysis of the manuscript's readings and comparisons with other ancient versions, the author argues that Codex B exhibits traces of Egyptian and Alexandrian revisions, as well as possible influences from the Syriac and Latin versions. By questioning the neutrality of Codex B, the author invites readers to reconsider the intricate history of the New Testament text and the various forces that shaped its transmission over centuries. This exploration sheds light on the ongoing scholarly debate about the most accurate representation of the original text, highlighting the importance of considering all available evidence and challenging long-held assumptions. Ultimately, this book underscores the dynamic nature of textual criticism and the need for ongoing investigation and critical analysis in the quest to understand the history and transmission of the New Testament.
