Introducing RP2026

The New Testament in the Original Greek: Byzantine Textform 2026 (RP2026) is a major update of the Greek New Testament compiled by Maurice A. Robinson and William G. Pierpont. It represents the New Testament text in the form that tends to predominate in the Greek manuscript tradition. It is the product of Robinson’s establishment of the main text and collaboration between Robinson, some of his former students, and varied New Testament Greek scholars representing a variety of backgrounds. Features of the new edition include:

  • Smyth-sewn binding
  • Wide margins
  • Quality paper for durability and note taking
  • Updated marking and presentation of paragraphs
  • Footnoted differences with more than ten Greek New Testament editions
  • Maurice Robinson’s “The Case for Byzantine Priority”

RP2026 offers advantages over previous editions while maintaining its standard of accuracy. It will (hopefully!) be available for pre-order soon with an expected publication date in 2026.

May this new edition, which will be released into the public domain, serve to strengthen the readers’ love of God and faith in his word—qualities that reflect the motivations of the editorial team in producing it for the glory of God.
