Summary
Much significant progress in textual criticism occurred in the 20th century, as is visible in new primary evidence, understanding the textual witnesses, approaches to textual criticism, textual theories, computer-assisted research, and text editions. This review article discusses how these new data and theories are handled in a new research tool, the Textual History of the Bible (THB). The THB makes it easier for scholars to handle this wealth of information and its dispersion in a multitude of studies and tools. The THB is innovative and a storehouse of many views. Although the THB is comprehensive, it does not deal with all aspects of the textual criticism of the Hebrew and translated Bible.
