Description

This study explores how early struggles between Christian heresy and orthodoxy affected orthodox scribes of the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, who occasionally altered their sacred texts for polemical reasons. By making their texts "say" what they were already thought to "mean", these anonymous copyists effected "the orthodox corruption of scripture".
