Description

Victors now not only write history: in addition they 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 a number of the debates were waged. He makes a a very powerful contribution to our working out of the social and intellectual history of early Christianity and raises intriguing questions in regards to the relationship of readers to their texts, especially in an age when scribes could develop into the documents they reproduced. This edition features a new afterword surveying research in biblical interpretation over the last two decades.
