"The Traditional Text of the Holy Gospels" by John William Burgon is a detailed study concerning the accurate wording of the New Testament's Gospels; it explores the history of the Gospel manuscripts and defends what Burgon considers the true, traditional text. Edward Miller, stepping in after Burgon's passing, explains in the introduction that the book is the result of over thirty years of intense research; Burgon aimed to use historical proof and the backing of religious authorities to argue that older manuscripts and certain interpretations are more trustworthy than newer ideas. The book examines textual criticism, carefully weighing different manuscript traditions to show exactly why the Traditional Text can be relied upon, using a wealth of evidence pulled from ancient texts.
