Excerpt from Two Dissertations: In Scripture and Tradition; On the 'Constantinopolitan' Creed and Other Eastern Creeds of the Fourth Century The former of these Dissertations is an attempt to examine in some detail a single point of textual criticism, the true read ing of a phrase occurring in a cardinal verse of the New Testa ment. Once only has the evidence been discussed with anything like adequate care and precision, namely in a valuable article contributed by Professor Ezra Abbot to the American Bibliotheca Sacra of October 1861. After having long had occasion to study the matter pretty closely, I am unable to accept the conclusions drawn by this eminent biblical scholar; and accordingly it seemed worth while to place on record the results of an independent investigation. My own opinion has not been formed hastily. Some years passed before increasing knowledge and clearness of view respecting the sources of the Greek text of the New Testament convinced me of the incor rectness of the received reading in John i 18. This conviction did not however remove the sense of a certain strangeness in the alternative phrase transmitted by the best authorities; and for a considerable time I saw no better solution of the difficulty than a conjecture that both readings alike were amplifications of a simpler original. It was a more careful study of the whole context that finally took away all lingering doubt as to the intrinsic probability of the less familiar reading.

Seller's Description:
New. In 1876, one of the most renowned Biblical scholars of the nineteenth century published two important dissertations directed ''solely towards discovering the true facts of history respecting certain ancient writings. '' We gladly offer this reprint of that original in light of its substantial relevance and scholarship. In the first, Dr. Hort investigates the textual and patristic evidence surrounding the last verse in the Prologue to St. John's Gospel (1: 18) in the hope of substantiating its seminal importance to the doctrine of Christ's ''perfect and eternal Sonship within the Godhead. '' Building upon this treatise, the second dissertation delves into the development of the ''Greek Creeds'' in the Church's fourth century (some you'll know, some you won't) and the way each interpreted and expounded the nature of the Son's place in the Trinity. Particularly rare specimens include the Creeds of Cappadocia, Antioch, Mesopotamia and Philadelphia.
