The First Edition of the New Testament

ABSTRACT

This book argues that the New Testament is not the product of a centuries-long process of development. Its history, the author finds, is the history of a bookan all-Greek Christian biblepublished as early as the second century AD and intended by its editors to be read as a whole. The author claims that this bible achieved wide circulation and formed the basis of all surviving manuscripts of the New Testament. Redactional frame, editorial concepts, and other such ideas can be found throughout the book as these aid in explaining how editors, publishers, and even readers may have already incorporated thoughts and modified the original texts to come up with the modern Canonical Edition of the Christian Bible that we know today.
