Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"[A] splendid and exhaustive examination... [w]ith scrupulous attention to every scrap of extant evidence." * Commonweal Magazine *
"This is a careful and rich study. More than that, it illustrates the impressive results that can be gained by adopting a longitudinal approach to the manuscript data and other evidence surrounded an individual pericope. All who read this volume will not only gain insight into the
pericope adulterae, more significantly they will learn much about the best practices in the study of the gospels themselves."
---Paul Foster, Journal for the Study of the New Testament"The work will clearly be the definitive treatment of the history of what came to be an influential part of the Fourth Gospel, showing that what has counted as 'Scripture' is not necessarily 'original.'"
---Harold Attridge, Journal of Religious History"This beautifully produced, clearly written, and carefully edited volume… will clearly be the definitive treatment of the history of what came to be an influential part of the Fourth Gospel, showing that what has counted as ‘Scripture’ is not necessarily ‘original.’—Harold W. Attridge,
