The International Greek New Testament Project (IGNTP) began in 1926 as a cooperative enterprise between British and German scholars to establish a new critical edition of the New Testament.
In the meantime research was taken up by Kurt Aland and the Institut für neutestamentliche Textforschung in Münster.
British and North American cooperation resulted in the publication of a critical apparatus for the Gospel of Luke in the 1980s.
Current research focuses on the Gospel of John, and the surviving majuscule manuscripts have been published in print and electronic form.
The present committee comprises scholars from Europe and North America.
