  • John Mill was an English theologian. Mill was born circa 1645 at Shap in Westmorland, entered Queen's College, Oxford, as a servitor in 1661, and took his master's degree in 1669 in which year he spoke the "Oratio Panegyrica" at the opening of the Sheldonian Theatre. Soon afterwards he became a Fellow of Queen's. In 1676, he became chaplain to the bishop of Oxford, and, in 1681, he obtained the rectory of Bletchington, Oxfordshire, and was made chaplain to Charles II. From 1685 till his death, he was principal of St Edmund Hall, Oxford; and in 1704 he was nominated by Queen Anne to a prebendal stall in Canterbury. He died a fortnight after the publication of his Greek Testament. Mill's Novum testamentum græcum, cum lectionibus variantibus MSS. exemplarium, versionun, editionum SS. patrum et scriptorum ecclesiasticorum, et in easdem nolis (Oxford, fol. 1707) was undertaken with the encouragement of John Fell, his predecessor in the field of New Testament criticism; it took thirty years to complete and was a great advance on previous scholarship. The text is that of R Stephanus (1550), but the notes, besides including all previously existing collections of various readings, add a vast number derived from his own examination of many new manuscripts, and Oriental versions (the latter unfortunately he used only in the Latin translations). Though the amount of information given by Mill is small compared with that in modern editions, it is probable that no one, except perhaps Tischendorf, has added so much material for the work of textual criticism. He was the first to notice the value of the concurrence of the Latin evidence with the Codex Alexandrinus, the only representative of an ancient non-Western Greek text then sufficiently known; this hint was not lost on Bentley. Mill is known for introducing a doctrine of that later became known as divine aptitude among some evangelical Protestant groups. Mill's work noted over 30,000 discrepancies between some 100 extant New Testament manuscripts. His work was attacked by Daniel Whitby and Anthony Collins. Whitby's Examen claimed that Mill had destroyed the validity of the text; Collins received a reply from Bentley (Phileleutherus lipsiensis). Bentley defended Mill noting essentially that Mill was not responsible for the differences between the various MSS, he only pointed them out. Bentley further noted that Christendom had indeed survived despite the errors, essentially asserting that Whitby's attacks were unfounded.
  • John Mill war ein englischer Theologe. Mill wurde um 1645 in Shap in Westmorland geboren und besuchte das Queen's College in Oxford. Dort wurde er 1661 Gefolgsmann und erwarb 1669 seinen Mastertitel. Im selben Jahr sprach er die "Oratio Panegyrica" bei der Eröffnung des Sheldonian Theatre. Kurze Zeit später wurde er zu einem Fellow of Queen's. 1676 wurde er Kaplan des Bischofs von Oxford und erwarb 1681 das Rektorat von Bletchington, Oxfordshire, wo er auch zum Kaplan von Karl II. erhoben wurde. Von 1685 bis zu seinem Tod war er Direktor der St Edmund Hall. Im Jahre 1704 wurde er von Queen Anna für einen prebendal stall in der Kathedrale von Canterbury nominiert. Er verstarb zwei Wochen nach der Veröffentlichung seines Griechischen Testaments. Im Jahr 1707 brachte Mills sein Novum testamentum græcum, cum lectionibus variantibus MSS. exemplarium, versionun, editionum SS. patrum et scriptorum ecclesiasticorum, et in easdem nolis (Oxford, fol. 1707) heraus, das er mit großer Unterstützung von John Fell in Angriff genommen hatte, seinem Vorgänger im Feld der Textkritik des Neuen Testaments. Die Fertigstellung dauerte dreißig Jahre und war ein großer Fortschritt gegenüber der bisherigen Lehre. Der Text stammt von R. Stephanus (1550), jedoch enthält er viele Bemerkungen, einschließlich aller vorher existierenden Sammlungen verschiedener Lesarten und sowie eine große Anzahl Lesarten, die er bei der Untersuchung vieler neuer Handschriften selbst zusammengetragen hatte. Hinzu kamen orientalische Versionen, diese benutzte er jedoch nur in den lateinischen Übersetzungen.
