H. Milton Haggard
Center for New Testament Textual Studies

We bring ancient Christian manuscripts to life for modern readers.

The H. Milton Haggard Center for New Testament Textual Study is a research center devoted to the study of the Greek New Testament text. Founded in 1998, the Center has become one of the premier settings worldwide for studying the Greek New Testament text.

A major manuscript collection & a dedicated library all set in a world class study environment

The Center houses a substantial collection of NT Greek manuscripts in digital, microfilm, and facsimile formats. Current facilities also include dedicated work stations, a study area, a reference library of major text-critical works, a microfilm reader-copier, and a database of manuscript evidence. On-site personnel include an administrative assistant, researchers, project directors, and the director of the Center.
