Summary: "Biblical Revision, its duties and conditions" by Henry Alford is a theological treatise written in the late 19th century, specifically in 1870. This sermon, delivered at St. Paul's Cathedral, addresses the responsibility of the Christian Church in preserving and revising the Scriptures to ensure their fidelity and accessibility to the faithful.

In this work, Alford emphasizes the critical duty of the Church as the custodian of the Holy Scriptures, highlighting both the necessity for revision based on new scholarly insights and the importance of maintaining the original essence of the text.
