Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

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'.
