Synopsis

This study explores how early struggles between Christian heresy and orthodoxy affected orthodox scribes of the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, who occasionally altered their sacred texts for polemical reasons. By making their texts "say" what they were already thought to "mean", these anonymous copyists effected "the orthodox corruption of scripture".

Présentation de l'éditeur

Victors not only write history: they also reproduce the texts. Bart Ehrman explores the close relationship between the social history of early Christianity and the textual tradition of the emerging New Testament, examining how early struggles between Christian "heresy" and "orthodoxy" affected the transmission of the documents over which many of the debates were waged. He makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of the social and intellectual history of early Christianity and raises intriguing questions about the relationship of readers to their texts, especially in an age when scribes could transform the documents they reproduced. This edition includes a new afterword surveying research in biblical interpretation over the past twenty years.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ehrman explores how early struggles between Christian `heresy' and `orthodoxy' affected proto-orthodox scribes of the second and third centuries, who occasionally altered their sacred texts for polemical reasons. By making their texts `say' what they were already thought to `mean', these anonymous copyists effected `the orthodox corruption of scripture'.
