Donker (Gideon Theological College, Upper Nile State, Southern Sudan) presents a slightly revised version of his October 2009 PhD dissertation at Macquarie U., Australia. He contributes to the study of early New Testament texts and transmission by piecing together the version fourth-century Greek Church Father Athanasius of Alexandria used from the quotations of it in his own writing. His topics include Athanasius and his writing, text and apparatus, the methodology of textual analysis, group profile analysis, and statistical and multivariate analysis. The Society of Biblical Literature publishes the paperbound edition; Brill publishes the hardbound. Annotation 2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
