<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Challenging popular media's assuptions about the historical accuracy of the New Testament<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i> Revisiting the Corruption of the New Testament</i> is the inaugural volume of The Text and Canon of the New Testament series, edited by Daniel B. Wallace. This first volume focuses on issues in textual criticism; in particular, to what degree did the scribes, who copied their exemplars by hand, corrupt the autographs? All but one of the chapters deals specifically with New Testament textual criticism. The other addresses textual issues related to an early apocryphal work, the <i>Gospel of Thomas</i>. The book begins with the full transcription of Wallace's presentation at the Fourth Annual Greer-Heard Forum, in which he and Bart Ehrman debated over the reliability of the New Testament manuscripts. Adam Messer looks at the patristic evidence of nor the Son in Matthew 24:36 in a quest to determine whether the excision of these words was influenced by orthodox Fathers. Philip Miller wrestles with whether the least orthodox reading should be a valid principle for determining the autographic text. Matthew Morgan focuses attention on the only two Greek manuscripts that have a potentially Sabellian reading in John 1:1c. Timothy Ricchuiti tackles the textual history of the <i>Gospel of Thomas</i>, examining the Coptic text and the three Greek fragments, using internal evidence in order to determine the earliest stratum of <i>Thomas.</i> Brian Wright thoroughly examines the textual reliability of the passages in which Jesus appears to be called God, concluding that the textual proof of the designation <i>theos</i> as applied to Jesus in the NT merely confirms what other grounds have already established. <i>Revisiting the Corruption of the New Testament </i>will be a valuable resource for those working in textual criticism, early Christianity, New Testament apocrypha, and patristics.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>How much did the theological arguments of the church affect the copying of the New Testament text? Focusing on issues of textual criticism, this inaugural volume of the Text and Canon of the New Testament series offers some answers to that question and responds to some of Bart Ehrman's views about the transmission of the New Testament text. <i>Revisiting the Corruption of the New Testament</i> will be a valuable resource for those working in textual criticism, patristics, and New Testament apocryphal literature.
