Johann J. Wettstein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann J. Wettstein, (1693–1754), was a controversial figure in the ranks of biblical scholarship. On March 17, 1713, at age twenty, he presented his thesis The Variety of Readings in the Text of the New Testament, in which he argued (he was a Protestant) that variant readings "can have no weakening effect on the truthworthiness or integrity of the Scriptures." His magnum opus, a two-volume edition of the text of the New Testament was published in 1752-53.
