Review of David Norton, Textual History and more

The Church Times carries a review of two books by David Norton:

A TEXTUAL HISTORY OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE and

THE NEW CAMBRIDGE PARAGRAPH BIBLE

Review by J. R. Porter

. . . . In recounting the history of the textual transmission of the English Bible, Dr Norton has produced an impressive piece of work. Not only does he provide a mass of information on a much fuller scale than has ever been attempted before, but he presents it with admirable clarity, using such manuscript evidence as is available, and full lists and tables of variant readings as well as the resources of computer technology. In short, it is a milestone in its particular field, and other scholars and students will find it indispensable . . . .
