The New Testament in the Original Greek | Byzantine Textform 2026
The New Testament in the Original Greek presents the Robinson–Pierpont Byzantine Textform in a clean, readable setting, prepared for a lifetime of close study. Set in Porson Greek type with an updated preface by Maurice A. Robinson and Abidan P. Shah, it is an edition made to be read, marked, and studied daily.
Hardcover
Bound in durable cloth over board with gold foil stamping, this is a volume made to endure years of study, handling, and reference, built to be opened daily at the desk rather than left to sit on a shelf.
Porson Greek Type
The text is set in Porson, the classic Greek typeface long associated with fine scholarly printing, rendered here with full accuracy so that every breathing, accent, and subscript sits faithfully in its proper place.
Updated Preface and Layout
An updated preface, prepared by Maurice A. Robinson and Abidan P. Shah, introduces this edition and sets out the editorial principles and textual commitments that shaped the work from beginning to end.
Variants Updated to the ECM
The variant evidence has been brought up to date with the Editio Critica Maior (ECM), placing current, carefully revised textual data before the reader for close comparison and serious critical study.
Updated Section Headers
English section headings mark the content of each passage throughout the New Testament, adapted from the public-domain commentary of Paul E. Kretzmann (Popular Commentary of the Bible, 2 vols., St. Louis: Concordia, 1921–1924) and from Abidan Shah’s sermons at Clearview Church (Henderson, NC) and lectures at Carolina University (Winston-Salem, NC).
