Reformed Churchmen: Evangelical Textual Criticism: Karlheinz Schüssler

Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month.

Evangelical Textual Criticism: Karlheinz Schüssler - Sad News

Evangelical Textual Criticism: Karlheinz Schüssler - sad news:

I have heard from David Parker the sad news that Prof. Karlheinz Schüssler (Salzburg) died in a car crash last Monday. Prof. Schüssler was editor of Biblia Coptica (the effort to register systematically all of the scattered leaves of early Coptic Bible texts) and of the Journal of Coptic Studies. There are too few involved in the area of Coptic Bible, and this is a serious loss to the discipline. Prof. Schüssler contributed to the International Greek New Testament Project, and hosted the IGNTP magnificently in Salzburg. It was a privilege to get to know him then and he will be sorely missed.
