Dirk Jongkind is a Dutch scholar of New Testament manuscripts and textual criticism based at Tyndale House in Cambridge.
Setting: Conservative evangelical research institute and church scholarship.
Dirk Jongkind is a Dutch scholar of New Testament manuscripts and textual criticism based at Tyndale House in Cambridge. He produced a detailed study of the scribes and correctors of Codex Sinaiticus and served as the principal editor of the Tyndale House Greek New Testament. He also teaches and writes for evangelical audiences.
The THGNT’s stated attention to early manuscript patterns and less-normalized paragraphing makes it an important modern edition to compare with Nestle-Aland and received-text approaches.
Bibliological positions
The earliest attainable wording is approached by reasoned evaluation of manuscripts, with attention to early witnesses, scribal behavior, orthography, and the presentation of the text.
Qualifications and disputes
The THGNT differs from Nestle-Aland at numerous places and aims to expose readers to manuscript features. Difference from a received text should not be described as mere copying of another edition.
Debate concerns its preference patterns, the role of early manuscripts, editorial normalization, and how evangelical preservation claims relate to an eclectic edition.
