Text of Matthew in the Writings of Basil of Caesarea

Basil (ca. 330-379) was a prolific writer and quoted extensively from the New Testament, says Racine (New Testament, Jesuit School of Theology, Berkeley), and so his work provides excellent evidence for which texts of the New Testament were in common use in Cappadocia during the fourth century, especially when analyzed in conjunction with the quotations by his brother Gregory of Nyssa (ca. 335-394). The study is slightly revised from his October 2000 Ph.D. dissertation for the University of St. Michael's College. It is not indexed. The Society of Biblical Literature publishes the book and distributes the paperbound edition; Brill distributes the hardbound edition. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
