The Greek New Testament is a fresh critical Greek text that reflects decades of scholarly advances and integrates up-to-date studies in scribal habits, aiming to be the most accurate printing of the New Testament in its earliest well-documented form. The New Testament was originally written in an early form of Greek in the first century.

The Greek New Testament, printed in Greek, was created under the oversight of editors Dr. Dirk Jongkind (@DJngKnd) (St. Edmund’s College, University of Cambridge) and Dr. Peter Williams (Tyndale House, Cambridge). Jongkind and Williams edited this all-new edition, working with the earliest-possible manuscripts, reexamining spelling and paragraph decisions, and allowing more recent discoveries to inform editorial decisions.

Dane Ortlund, executive vice president of Bible Publishing and Bible Publisher at Crossway, says, “There is nothing more precious than the very words of God in the New Testament, given to us in the teaching of Jesus and the apostles and handed down with meticulous care through the generations and centuries. This edition of The Greek New Testament represents the very best of biblical scholarship and is a critical Greek text that takes us carefully and faithfully into the very words handed down in the earliest years of the church’s existence.”
