In 1881, two scholars published a series of corrections to the New Testament of the Bible that sent immediate shockwaves through the academic world. Brooke Wescott and Fenton Hort produced The New Testament in the Original Greek, one of the earliest examples of modern textual criticism. Their goal was to remove changes, errors, and additions to the text in order to determine the original words. It was at once controversial but at the same time - began a new epoch in the history of textual criticism.
