On the initiative of the American Bible Society—especially of Executive Secretary for Translations, Eugene Nida—a committee of experts was formed in 1955 to prepare a new edition of the Greek New Testament.
This new edition of The Greek New Testament (UBS6) incorporates the significant advances made by the Editio Critica Maior (ECM) since the release of the fifth edition in 2014.
This volume replaces the commentary by Bruce M. Metzger, which has long been a standard reference work, but is now outdated in light of current research developments.
The Greek New Testament is particularly well suited for those beginning to study New Testament textual criticism because its textual apparatus focuses on those passages where the variants are especially significant for translation and interpretation.
