About This Book

The author traces how both accidental errors and intentional changes have altered the traditional Gospel text, analysing manuscript transmission, lectionary practices, early translations (including Syriac), and patristic citations; he identifies harmonizations, interpolations, doctrinally motivated insertions, and editorial conflations as principal mechanisms of corruption, assesses palaeographical and textual evidence against rival theories such as the neutral-text hypothesis, and proposes a methodology that privileges early readings supported by internal and external testimony while exposing the historical processes by which later variants gained acceptance.
