BELLINGHAM, WA–October 28, 2010–<\/strong>The Society of Biblical Literature and Logos Bible Software announced today the release of The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition<\/em> (SBLGNT<\/span><\/strong><\/a>), a critically edited Greek New Testament.<\/p>\n

For
\nthe first time ever, students, teachers, pastors and laypeople
\nthroughout the world can access a reliable, critically edited version of
\nthe Greek New Testament for free electronically<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. And because the SBLGNT has a generous end-user license agreement<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and doesn’t require proprietary fonts, users can easily interact with and share the text at no cost.<\/p>\n

With
\nthe work of textual criticism far from complete, there is a continual
\nneed for fresh research and analysis. The SBLGNT, edited by Michael W.
\nHolmes, utilizes a wide range of printed editions, all the major
\ncritical apparatuses, and the latest technical resources and manuscript
\ndiscoveries to establish the text. The result is a critically edited
\ntext that differs from the Nestle-Aland\/United Bible Societies text in
\nmore than 540 variation units.<\/p>\n

In addition to the free electronic
\nedition, the Society of Biblical Literature and Logos Bible Software
\nalso offer a reasonably priced, professionally produced print edition of
\nthe SBLGNT, which includes the full apparatus of variant readings from
\nthe NA27 and the four primary editions on which the SBLGNT is based.<\/p>\n
