This authoritative work delves into the meticulous and often understudied world of the early Christian copyists who played a pivotal role in the formation and preservation of the New Testament texts. From the first century onward, these scribes not only copied sacred texts but also shaped the future of Christian doctrine through their decisions and scribal practices. Spanning ten comprehensive chapters, the book begins by exploring the initial stages of the New Testament's composition in Chapter 1: The Making of New Testament Books, which sets the historical and theological context for the texts' creation. Chapter 2: The New Testament Copyists and Their Materials examines the tools and materials that were essential to the craft of these early scribes, revealing how the physical means of production influenced the textual transmission. Chapter 3: The Book Writing Process of the New Testament offers insights into the collaborative efforts between authors and scribes, while Chapter 4: The Production of New Testament Manuscripts provides a detailed look at the actual processes involved in the creation of these enduring documents. Chapter 5: Most Important Manuscripts (100 – 400 C.E.) and Chapter 6: Dating the Earliest Manuscripts of the New Testament present a critical analysis of the key manuscripts and discuss methodologies for dating these invaluable texts. The exploration deepens in Chapter 7: The Nomina Sacra (Sacred Name) in New Testament Manuscripts, which investigates the treatment of divine names and their significant role in scribal practices. Chapter 8: Textual Variants in the Greek New Testament addresses the complexities of textual variation and its implications for biblical scholarship. Chapter 9: Modern Theories and Methods of New Testament Textual Criticism brings the discussion into contemporary scholarly debates, highlighting the evolution of textual criticism over the centuries. Finally, Chapter 10: How Scribes Influenced the Text of the New Testament synthesizes the findings from previous chapters to demonstrate the profound impact scribes had on the New Testament text. Each chapter is meticulously researched, drawing on the latest academic studies and archaeological findings to provide a rich narrative that is both scholarly and accessible. This book is an essential resource for theologians, historians, biblical scholars, and anyone interested in the origins and transmission of the New Testament. It offers a rare glimpse into the lives and labors of the early scribes whose contributions have helped to preserve one of the world's most influential religious texts.

THE READING CULTURE OF EARLY CHRISTIANITY provides the reader with the production process of the New Testament books, the publication process, how they were circulated, and to what extent they were used in the early Christian church. It examines the making of the New Testament books, the New Testament secretaries and the material they used, how the early Christians viewed the New Testament books, and the literacy level of the Christians in the first three centuries. It also explores how the gospels went from an oral message to a written record, the accusation that the apostles were uneducated, the inspiration and inerrancy in the writing process of the New Testament books, the trustworthiness of the early Christian copyists, and the claim that the early scribes were predominantly amateurs. Andrews also looks into the early Christian’s use of the codex [book form], how did the spread of early Christianity affect the text of the New Testament, and how was the text impacted by the Roman Empire’s persecution of the early Christians?

It is widely believed that the early Christians copied their texts themselves without a great deal of expertise, and that some copyists introduced changes to support their theological beliefs. In this volume, however, Alan Mugridge examines all of the extant Greek papyri bearing Christian literature up to the end of the 4th century, as well as several comparative groups of papyri, and concludes that, on the whole, Christian texts, like most literary texts in the Roman world, were copied by trained scribes. Professional Christian scribes probably became more common after the time of Constantine, but this study suggests that in the early centuries the copyists of Christian texts in Greek were normally trained scribes, Christian or not, who reproduced those texts as part of their trade and, while they made mistakes, copied them as accurately as any other texts they were called upon to copy.

If only we could hold the actual words of Luke's descriptive narrative or Paul's outpouring of pastoral pain to the church at Corinth. Now we can. A continuing quest to recover the New Testament text allows Christians to open their Bibles with confidence that the words approximate the writers' Greek quill strokes or the English equivalents. Such thought breaths excitement into Philip Comfort's history of the New Testament text and discussion of the credibility (and limitations) of texts and translations. Comfort challenges the view that early copyists were careless and took editorial liberties. He argues that their accuracy and integrity are indisputable. While this task involves comparing manuscripts, technical facts are framed in historical and cultural color. He assures Christians that even uncovering the paper signed by Paul would not change our understanding of what he said. This introduction to the work of textual criticism challenges students to continue the quest for the original text. It is essentially a sequel to 'Early Manuscripts and Modern Translations of the New Testament.'

THE TEXT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT was copied and recopied by hand for 1,500 years. Regardless of those scribes who had worked very hard to be faithful in their copying, errors crept into the text. How can we be confident that what we have today is the Word of God? Wilkins and Andrews offer the reader an account of the copying by hand and transmission of the Greek New Testament. They present a comprehensive survey of the manuscript history from the penning of the 27 New Testament books to the current critical texts. What did the ancient books look like and how were documents written? How were the New Testament books published? Who would use secretaries? Why was it so hard to be a secretary in the first century? How was such work done? What do we know about the early Christian copyists? What were the scribal habits and tendencies? Is it possible to establish the original text of the New Testament? How do paleographers date the ancient manuscripts? How has the Greek New Testament text come down to us? How did textual variations and manuscript families arise? Just how many textual variants are there and how are they to be counted? What guarantee do we have as to the reliability of the Greek text? What are the principles and rules of textual criticism and how are they to be applied, so that we can get back the original reading? What are the collation and classification of manuscripts? What is the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM) and can it be trusted? How reliable are our master (critical) Greek texts of the New Testament (WH/NA28/UBS5)? Why can we be confident that the literal translations (ASV / RSV / NASB / UASV) are providing for its readers the faithful Word of God? Their work on THE TEXT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT is carried out with an apologetical mindset, to assist Christians in their defense of God's Word.

A concise history of the Bible: its creation, use, and interpretation. What is the Bible? To answer this question we must understand the Bible’s origins in the early church. In this book, celebrated church historian Justo González introduces the reader to some important features of the earliest Bibles—for instance, the Bible’s original languages, its division into chapters and verses, and even its physical appearance in its first forms. González also explores the use of the Bible in the early church (such as in worship or in private reading) and the interpretation of the Bible throughout the ensuing centuries, giving readers a holistic sense of the Bible’s emergence as the keystone of Christian life, from its beginnings to present times.

Was the New Testament written in the early first century CE or at a much later date? Sturdy's work was conceived as a reply to John Robinson's Reading the New Testament, which dated the New Testament material very early. Sturdy argued that the Pauline letters are in places interpolated, Colossians, Ephesians and the Pastorals are pseudonymous, and that Luke and Acts are not by the same author. He believed that Matthew was the last Synoptic Gospel to be written, with John assigned to the period 140 CE. Redrawing the Boundaries offers a radical approach to New Testament Studies that stands in a long tradition of scholarship represented by the Tuebingen School in Germany.
