Part II: Reconstruction - Translation - Variants","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I:                   The Gospel that was part of Marcion’s collection in the first half of        the 2nd century is the oldest of all Gospels.                 The author presents a meticulous reconstruction and argues that all        canonical Gospels are dependent on this Gospel. This sheds new light on        the formation and tradition history of the gospels, contributes new        insights on the history of the New Testament text and textual criticism,        and has significant consequences for how to assess the formation of the        canonical edition of the New Testament and the history of earliest        Christianity in general.                 Part I contains the methodological foundation, substantiating the        hypothesis that canonical Luke is a revised edition of this oldest        Gospel. On this ground, a model of the Gospels’ tradition history is        developed.                 A detailed epilogue comments on recent research on and reconstructions        of Marcion’s Gospel and analyzes the methodological differences of these        approaches.                                    Part II:                   Reconstructing the text of Marcion’s Gospel is essential for the two        basic tasks of establishing this Gospel’s priority over canonical Luke        and understanding the formation process from this oldest Gospel to the        canonical Four-Gospel book.                 Part. II offers a reconstruction of the oldest Gospel. Its text is        established on the basis of evidence provided by the heresiological        witnesses and the textual variants. A detailed commentary makes every        single decision of the reconstruction transparent and carefully traces        the steps of the tradition history for individual sayings and pericopes.        The volume includes an English translation as well as an extensive list        of the correspondences between the attestations for Marcion’s Gospel and        the variants of canonical Luke.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52195591586135,"sku":"9789042943094","price":226.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-oldest-gospel-and-the-formation-of-the-canonical-gospels-part-i-inquiry-part-ii-reconstruction-translation-variants-9789042943094","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
