Books for Church History, Koine Greek and Textual Criticism(NT)

Hello,

I'd like to know if there are any comprehensive and good books concerning Church History, Koine Greek and New Testament Textual Criticism.

At the moment I am using the famous "Greek beyond Basics" from Daniel Wallace, and for Textual Criticism I only own a kind of summary-book from Kurt and Barbara Aland. I'm just not familiar with the sources I can trust; same goes for Church History.

I'd also buy the Print Version of those books, if Logos doesnt own them. And I am from Germany, so if the language of the resource (for whatever reason) is german, I'm fine!

Greetings,

Matze

A basic book on NT text Criticism;

NT Textual Crticism, a concise guide by David Alan Black

Next I would google Textual crticism on U tube and watch all Daniel Wallaces videos.

That and some other readings got me through seminary. Blacks book is small but has some examples from memory, I think.

Seminary for me was a long time ago, so browse the bookstore or amazon. Try and pick something with worked examples.

Leaving you in God's Care and Grace

As a newbie to Textual Criticism, I found Wallace's course on CredoHouse to be very instructive.

good books concerning Church History

History of Dogma by Harnack is still basic

The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church by Oliphant is another solid history from a different perspective

The Presence of God series by Bernard McGinn is not available in Logos but presents another essential perspective

I know Lexham put out a book on textual criticism but I don't know how useful it is. It is part of the Lexham Methods Series

Re: NT Textual Criticism, these two, while neither surveys nor "deep", are useful companions.

This book covers both OT and NT textual criticism. I found it to be a very helpful overview of the topic.

After reading this (some years ago) I felt that I understood this subject for the first time.
