Indirect evidence, in the form of early translations ('versions') and biblical quotations in ancient writers (‘patristic citations’), offers important testimony to the history and transmission of the New Testament. In addition to their value as early evidence for the Greek New Testament, versions have a textual tradition of their own which is often of considerable historical, theological and ecclesial significance. This volume brings together a series of original contributions on this topic, which was the focus of the Eleventh Birmingham Colloquium on the Textual Criticism of the New Testament. The research described here illustrates not just the ongoing importance and variety of this material, but also the way in which it may shape the theory and practice of text-critical scholarship and lead to new insights about this vast and rich tradition.

This volume provides a new paradigm for the use of Chrysostom’s exegetical homilies in New Testament textual criticism. Grounded in a study of the manuscript tradition of the Homilies on Romans, this work offers both a reconstruction of the Romans text as initially cited in the homilies, and an analysis of the extensive revisions to these citations present in the subsequent manuscript tradition. This study challenges current assumptions about the influence of the Byzantine text on patristic citations, and demonstrates the use of the manuscripts of Chrysostom’s homilies as a source of textual reference in the broader transmission history of Romans.
