Bruce Metzger Dies at 93

Byhenry

Bruce Metzger, Bible translator, languages scholar, and one of the foremost experts on New Testament manuscripts has died of natural causes at age 93. (HT: Better Bibles Blog). The story is available here.

Metzger made numerous contributions, including working on editions of the Greek New Testament, a book on the New Testament Text, and a New Testament vocabulary guide, as well as being a leading member of the NRSV translation committee. I appreciate him, and am deeply in debt to his scholarship.
