Synopsis

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'.
