The Gothic version of the New Testament is the oldest extant writing in a Germanic language and
one of the earliest translations from the Greek. This volume offers a re-examination of
fundamental questions concerning the historical and cultural context in which the version was
prepared the codicology of the manuscripts and the value of the Gothic text for the
reconstruction of the underlying Greek together with a history of text-critical research and a
new evaluation of the significance of the Gothic text in the light of current New Testament
textual criticism.
