This is not only the most complete examination (over 400 pages) of the authenticity of this famous passage of Scripture, but it is very likely the rarest book in the textual field.

It is rare delight to discover the many facets that there are to this problem. It is a joy indeed to follow this inimitable author over the almost unbelievable moun-tain of evidence that he has turned up. You will im-mediately perceive the cogency of his arguments, but most of all you will find that his treatment of the sub-ject leaves very little room for improvement.

It is so rare a book, insofar as availability is concerned. that our best known universities have had the book microfilmed because their librarians could not buy the book at any price.

Not the least bit of your pleasure in having this book in your hands will be the very large introduction by Edward Hills. Dr. Hills brings the field of textual criticism right up to today, taking into consideration the most recent discoveries.
