Is the text of Westcott and Hort's Introduction and Appendix available online by any chance? The copyright should have expired long ago. A google search didn't turn up anything that I could see, except for excerpts and references to it.

But Google will tell you this: Who are Westcott and Hort?

Quote:

QUESTION: Who were Westcott and Hort?

ANSWER: Two unsaved Bible critics.

EXPLANATION: Brook Foss Westcott (1825-1903) and Fenton John Anthony Hort (1828-1892) were two non-Christian Anglican ministers. Fully steeped in the Alexandrian philosophy that "there is no perfect Bible", they had a vicious distaste for the King James Bible and its Antiochian Greek text, the Textus Receptus. ...

It cannot be said that they believed that one could attain Heaven by either works or faith, since both believed that Heaven existed only in the mind of man.

...

Westcott accepted and promoted prayers for the dead. Both were admirers of Mary (Westcott going so far as to call his wife Sarah, "Mary"),and Hort was an admirer and proponent of Darwin and his theory of evolution.

According to this site: http://www.westcotthort.com/ there is a lot of "scanning in progress" including the Introduction.

One is available at http://rosetta.reltech.org/TC/Ebind/docs/TC/WH1881/

If prompted for a user name and password, please use the word "any" for both.

And doesn't that just instantly add to their credibility, I ask you?

You know, somehow I knew I could count on you to know a site. You don't disappoint. :thumbs:

ETA: One day, I would love to see your browser bookmarks for religious references.

Thanks.

Thanks also for reminding me how out-of-date my bookmarks are. (Lately, I've just been using Google(TM) while trying to recall the keywords that got me there in the first place.)
