The Gothic Version of the Gospels and Pauline Epistles - (Arbeiten Zur Neutestamentlichen Textforschung) by Carla Falluomini (Paperback)

About the Book

Since 1963 the Institute for New Testament Textual Research (Münster) has been publishing pivotal research and studies on textual criticism and textual history of the Greek New Testament in its series Arbeiten zur Neutestamentlichen Textforschung (ANTF). The series provides a research and discussion forum and supplies editions and instruments for researching and evaluating the New Testament in its primary transmission and the early translations.

Book Synopsis

The Gothic version of the New Testament is the oldest extant writing in a Germanic language and one of the earliest translations from the Greek. This volume offers a re-examination of fundamental questions concerning the historical and cultural context in which the version was prepared, the codicology of the manuscripts, and the value of the Gothic text for the reconstruction of the underlying Greek, together with a history of text-critical research and a new evaluation of the significance of the Gothic text in the light of current New Testament textual criticism.
