The Text of the ‘Corpus Paulinum’1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  05 February 2009

Extract

The publication of Dr Zuntz's Schweich Lectures of 1946, much enlarged in the interval, is an event of great interest and importance to New Testament scholars, not only to those engaged in the more technical aspects of textual criticism but to all expositors of the Pauline letters. As our author so rightly insists at the outset of his study, expounders of the New Testament must not be content to leave textual criticism to the experts, for ‘textual criticism and exegesis are not independent inseparable endeavours but two aspects of the same endeavour’. The theologian is bound to go astray either if he fails to keep a vital hold upon the text, or, as Zuntz also insists, if he is unwilling or unable to assume the role of philologist as well.
