This book is a brief synopsis of a large subject, namely that of the textual criticism of Greek New Testament Texts. Greenlee does an excellent job of handling this controversial subject.

He begins with an overview of how ancient manuscripts were written historically. This includes the types of materials and instruments that were used to record literature. I found this section most educational.

He then briefly reviews the history and records of the New Testament writings.

Lastly, Greenlee reviews the methods behind textual criticism, and gives numerous examples of applied textual criticism.

This is by no means a comprehensive review of this difficult subject, but I found it to be very helpful because of its clarity and brevity.

This book is an excellent introduction into the difficult field of textual criticism. Greenlee handles the issues objectively and professionally.
