It is a crying shame this book is out of print.

Collins's book is an excellent introduction to biblical exegesis. Covers the basics -- text criticism, form criticism, etc. -- in a clear and readable style. Presents good examples, and also discusses the various codices, their late discovery compared to the KJV, and impact on biblical scholarship. I have read enough biblical criticism to recognize a classic when I see one. Collins is, as I recall, a priest, so he is not hostile to the subject, nor offensive to the believer. He just presents the nature and results of good scholarly criticism. If only someone would put this out in paperback! This book started me on a 5 year exploration. If you are lucky, it will be at a library near you.
