Book Synopsis
The remarkably complex textual traditions of the Acts of the Apostles reflect the theological developments and socio-cultural framework of early Christianity. The present volume contains studies of textual witnesses, textual traditions and translations of the Acts. They do not only focus on the traditions which occur in the manuscripts, or on the theological tendencies of the major ancient versions and their reception in the Early Church, but also consider the relevance of mostly neglected witnesses such as amuletts and tablets, and the relationship between the ancient translators and Jewish exegetical traditions.

Trade Review
"This volume represents a significant advancement in the study of the complicated textual history of Acts. In terms of both aims and analysis, this volume will prove a benchmark against which subsequent studies will be measured."Thomas E. Phillips in: The Catholic Biblical Quartely 1-2005
