Synopsis

Hook line: A fresh look at how scholars seek the original words of the Gospel and why it matters to readers today. This lecture, by E. S. Buchanan, dives into the history, the key manuscripts, and the questions that shape our English Bible.

Drawing on decades of study, the talk traces the quest to recover the first words of Christ and the apostles. It explains how early manuscripts and later editors shaped the versions we use now, and why textual choices matter to how we understand sacred texts.
