The Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Cambridge (THGNT)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The Greek New Testament, Produced at Tyndale House, Cambridge seeks to make a distinctive contribution by providing a text of the Greek New Testament that is based on the most recent scholarship and is rooted in the earliest manuscript witnesses, dating primarily from the fourth and fifth centuries and earlier. As noted by professor Geoffrey Horrocks (University of Cambridge), “The result of this groundbreaking research is an innovative and exciting Greek New Testament text.”
Produced at Tyndale House in Cambridge, England, this completely new edition of the Greek New Testament text was created under the oversight of editors Dr. Dirk Jongkind (St. Edmund’s College, University of Cambridge) and Dr. Peter Williams (Tyndale House, Cambridge). Together with their team of scholars, they have taken a rigorously philological approach to reevaluating the manuscripts—reexamining spelling and paragraph decisions as well as allowing more recent discoveries related to scribal habits in the earliest manuscripts to inform editorial decisions.
This resource contains the text and apparatus.
- Relies on the earliest manuscripts where feasible from the 5th century and earlier.
- Includes a useful, but concise critical apparatus
- Paragraphing in the edition also based on manuscript evidence, often diverging from modern paragraph decisions
- Early spellings are retained on the basis of the manuscripts
The result of this groundbreaking research is an innovative and exciting Greek New Testament text.
–Geoffrey Horrocks, professor emeritus of Comparative Philology, University of Cambridge
A first-rate edition of the New Testament text, behind which stands an extraordinary amount of work on the earliest Greek manuscripts. . . . Lucidly and handsomely presented. . . . A volume that all New Testament scholars will want to have on hand.
–Simon Gathercole, reader in New Testament Studies, University of Cambridge; Fellow and Director of studies in Theology, Fitzwilliam College
A welcome addition to the tools available to students and scholars of the New Testament. A commendable distinguishing feature is the effort to represent more directly aspects of ancient manuscripts, such as the nature and placement of sense-unit divisions, which can be of particular relevance for exegesis.
–Larry W. Hurtado, professor emeritus of New Testament Language, Literature, and Theology, School of Divinity (New College), University of Edinburgh

I'm glad to see that the recent update included hyperlinking for all of the witnesses, so that one can easily see the date and description of the witnesses. It would be helpful to have other sigla linked as well (e.g., the diamond [♦ represents "variants that were in the eyes of the editors extremely close contenders for consideration for the main text"], or superscript numbers / asterisks [e.g., A* A² A³], or ᵛⁱᵈ with dots under the Greek letters). This is more of a critique of the THGNT rather than the Logos version, given that the explanations of these sigla are embedded in the text of the "Introduction."

When will the mobile version become available? I assume it will not cost more when the mobile version is made available, correct?

Will Logos produce a reader's edition? The print version from Crossway comes in a reader's version with a glossary of words occurring 25 times or less on the bottom of each page. That would be nice to have in Logos.

I don't see anything about the interlinear or reverse interlinear. They are free on the ESV website.
