Description

Did scribes intentionally change the text of the New Testament?

This book argues they did not and disputes the claims that variant readings are theologically motivated.

Using evidence gathered from some of the earliest surviving biblical manuscripts these essays reconstruct the copying habits of scribes and explore the contexts in which they worked.

Alongside these are studies of selected early Christian writings, which illustrate attitudes to and examples of textual change.
