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 contends, 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 of the New Testament.
This important book addresses a very interesting question which has never occurred to a lot of people. ... There is plenty of meat for debate here. * Reviews in Religion & Theology, vol.8/4 *
It is a fascinating enquiry and a strong case, beautifully argued. * Theology, 01/11/2001 *
David Trobisch has written a short but important book on one of the most influential happenings in the history of Christianity: the putting together and issuing of the New Testament. * Theology, 01/11/2001 *
