Edward F. Hills (1912-1981) – Edward Freer Hills

Perhaps the greatest 20th Century Traditional (“Byzantine”) text, and Received Text defender. Dr. Hills integrates his theological perspective alongside New Testament criticism. He was a Presbyterian scholar. Reading Dean John William Burgon inspired Dr. Hills to approach textual criticism from a “logic of faith” (1952 is the year that Dr. Hills made a definite commitment to this view).

Education
Graduated summa cum laude at Yale University (1930-1933) ; Th.D. from Westminster Theological Seminary (ca. 1935); Th.M. from Columbia Theological Seminary; and a Th.D. in New Testament textual criticism from Harvard.

Books by Dr. Hills
The King James Version Defended: A Christian View of the New Testament Manuscripts (1956). An online version of his book is available [here], and Believing Bible Study.
