Bruce M. Metzger

Bruce Manning Metzger (February 9, 1914 – February 13, 2007) was an American biblical scholar and historian who worked as a longtime professor at Princeton Theological Seminary. Metzger was a scholar of classical Greek and the New Testament, specializing in translation and textual criticism (which attempts to reconstruct the original version of a document based on several conflicting copies). He served on the board of the American Bible Society and United Bible Societies, and was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1986. Metzger is often considered among the most influential New Testament scholars of the 20th century. Provided by Wikipedia
