Brooke Westcott

Brooke Foss Westcott was an English bishop and New Testament scholar whose major work combined biblical criticism with theological interpretation. In collaboration with Fenton John Anthony Hort, he produced *The New Testament in the Original Greek* (1881), a landmark edition in nineteenth-century textual scholarship. Westcott also wrote influential commentaries on John’s Gospel, the Johannine Epistles, and Hebrews, and served as Bishop of Durham from 1890 until his death.
