Excerpt from The Oxford Debate on the Textual Criticism of the New Testament: Held at New College on May 6, 1897 With a Preface Explanatory of the Rival Systems The debate, of which the following pages contain a report, was the result of an offer courteously made by the Rev. Dr. Sanday, Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, when I asked him whether those who are devoted to the study of Theology in Oxford would be ready to hear an explanation from me of the system of Textual Criticism advocated by the late Dean Burgon and myself, in order to the removal of misconceptions of it. The speeches made in the debate have been referred both in manuscript and in type to the several speakers for their approval and corrections. In compliance with a thoughtful suggestion, the ensuing descriptions of the two present systems have been prefixed to the Report of the discussion, for the purpose of reference in the case of readers who have not a familiar acquaintance with them ready for use. And it is hoped that, taken together with the debate, they may form an easy means to many students of the Bible of learning some of the chief points in a very important study and controversy. The former of these two descriptions, according to Dr. Sanday's suggestion, has been taken with the kind leave of the author from Our Bible and the Ancient Monuments, by Frederick G.Kenyon, M .A., D. Litt., of the British Museum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
