Summary

The First Edition of the New Testament is a groundbreaking book that argues that the New Testament is not the product of a centuries-long process of development.

Description

The First Edition of the New Testament is a groundbreaking book that argues that the New Testament is not the product of a centuries-long process of development. Its history, David Trobisch finds, is the history of a book--an all Greek Christian bible--published as early as the second century C.E. and intended by its editors to be read as a whole. Trobisch claims that this bible achieved wide circulation and formed the basis of all surviving manuscripts ofthe New Testament.

Critic Reviews

“Trobisch has presented a fascinating proposal that deserves a hearing in the academy and the church.”

"Dr. Trobisch has produced a thought-provoking and significant study that will surely challenge the traditional understanding of the formation of the canon...The First Edition of the New Testament could have relevance for years to come."--Faith & Mission
