The most up-to-date text of the Greek New Testament with a Greek-English dictionary

The Greek New Testament with Greek-English Dictionary contains the exact text and critical apparatus found in the UBS6 Standard Edition with an appendix that includes the second, revised edition of Barclay M. Newman’s Greek-English Dictionary of the New Testament.

After more than ten years of intensive preparation, a new edition of the UBS Greek New Testament (6th edition) is now available. It offers the most up-to-date Greek text with the textual changes from the Editio Critica Maior volumes on the Acts of the Apostles (2017), the Gospel of Mark (2021), and Revelation (2025). The text differs from the text of the 5th edition in well over 100 places. The text is identical to that of the 29th edition of the Novum Testamentum Graece (“Nestle-Aland”), which is in preparation for 2026.

The apparatus includes clearly structured entries on all major variants of the text. The selection of the passages was guided by the question of their relevance for translation and interpretation. The importance of the so-called Textus Receptus has also been given greater consideration compared to previous editions. Compared to the 5th edition, the selection of manuscripts has been focused on the most important witnesses and supplemented by new manuscripts (papyri 128 to 141).

This sixth edition begins with an accessible introduction in English and is edited by an international and interdenominational committee, which is also responsible for NA29 and works closely with the Institute for New Testament Textual Research: Holger Strutwolf, Hugh Houghton, Christos Karakolis, David Parker, Stephen Pisano, David Trobisch, and Klaus Wachtel.

Die in diesem Band versammelten Vorträge wurden bei der fünften internationalen orthodox-westlichen Exegetenkonferenz in Minsk (Weißrussland) gehalten. Die Autoren der Beiträge untersuchen die Gleichnisse Jesu, sein öffentliches Wirken in Galiläa, die Passionsgeschichte bei Markus und den Tod Jesu bei Paulus. Alle Themen werden sowohl aus "westlicher" (evangelischer und römisch-katholischer) Perspektive als auch von orthodoxen Standpunkten aus betrachtet. Ein zusammenfassender Bericht gibt die Gruppendiskussionen und die Seminarsitzungen des Symposiums wieder.

Die im Band versammelten Beiträge gehen auf das Seminar „Johannine Literature" der Society of New Testament Studies zurück und repräsentieren zentrale Forschungspositionen zum Johannesevangelium nach dem Niedergang der Semeiaquellenhypothese. Die Beitragenden untersuchen zentrale Fragen der Johannesexegese anhand detaillierter Fallstudien und breiterer theologischer Überlegungen. Mehrere Beiträge konzentrieren sich auf spezifische Semeia-Erzählungen - einschließlich der Erzählung aus Johannes 21 - und analysieren die literarische und theologische Funktion des Begriffs „Semeia". Sie befassen sich mit übergreifenden Fragen wie dem Zusammenspiel von Zeichen und Glaube bzw. Unglaube, der Beziehung zwischen Zeichen und Werken und der Rolle der Semeia innerhalb der narrativen Struktur und des theologischen Rahmens des Evangeliums. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt den Auslegungspraktiken, insbesondere der Schriftexegese, wie sie im johanneischen Corpus angewendet werden. Ein abschließender Beitrag analysiert die Rezeption des Kana-Wunders bei Johannes Chrysostomos und bietet damit einen patristischen Ausblick auf die Wirkungsgeschichte der Semeia-Thematik. Der Band bietet eine fundierte Zusammenschau gegenwärtiger exegetischer Diskurse und setzt Impulse für weiterführende Fragestellungen innerhalb der Johannesforschung.
