Bruce Manning Metzger (born 1914) is a professor emeritus at Princeton Theological Seminary and Bible editor who serves on the board of the American Bible Society. He is a respected scholar of Greek, New Testament and Old Testament Bible, and has written prolifically on these subjects. Metzger's commentaries often utilize Historical Criticism and Higher Criticism, which attempt to explain the literary and historical origins of the Bible and the biblical canon. For instance, Metzger argues that the primitive church which assembled the New Testament did not consider divine inspiration to be a sufficient criterion for a book to be canonized and in fact considered other works such as The Shepherd of Hermas and the Epistles of Clement to be
inspired but not canonical. Because of such views, he has been criticized by some evangelicals k New Testament (1994) The Oxford Companion to the Bible (1993) The Reader's Bible (1983) Lexical Aids for Students of New Testament Greek (1969) List of Words Occuring Frequently in the Coptic New Testament (Sahidic Dialect) (1961) Introduction to the Apocrypha (1957) The Oxford Concise Concordance to the Revised Standard Version of the Holy Bible (with Isobel M.
