This conviction is now being challenged, with recent studies suggesting that the tradition is more complex than the two-text concept had proposed. New Testament textual critics have long maintained that the earliest textual tradition of the Acts of the Apostles is bipolar, transmitted in two early textual forms. Far from using applying the classical, and general, criteria of a “Western” or “mixed vulgate” character, such as is generally attributed to Old Latin manuscripts, this article suggests that the variants of these manuscripts occur at the very places of the tensions between the “Western” and Alexandrian texts, and offer suggest a paved evolutionary pathway for of the text of this pericope, comforting a probably primitive “Western” form of text as suggested by earlier studies. While the Greek text of this pericope attests to two distinct textual states, that of the “Western” text and that of the Alexandrian text, the testimony of the Old Latin manuscripts seems, after a careful study of their variants, to trace have left traces of this the evolution from one state to the other. This article intends seeks to study the pericope of the Pilgrims on the Emmaus Road (Lk 24.,13-35) in various manuscripts of the Old Latin. However, they are often classified “en bloc” in the critical apparatus, thus preventing them from seeing the contribution of each manuscript from being seen, and thereby their role as “tracer” in the transmission of the New Testament text is overlooked. Lawrence, H.Old Latin manuscripts are among the most noteworthy early witnesses of the New Testament because of their age, predating the Vulgate, while being contemporary with the first translations into other languages such as Syriac and Coptic. More pointedly, this chapter argues, they counter the popular view of unbelief as a recent or modern development by locating its origins at the very beginnings of Christianity itself.
In engaging with the events of Jesus’s life, and especially those connected to the crucifixion and resurrection, these authors foreground questions of belief in a way that stories based on other historical and mythological lives do not. adopt a more heavily symbolic and stylized prose in their New Testament stories but do so with similar ends in mind. Moore’s version emphasizes the virtues of oral presentation as a means of getting the story straight his vernacular approach sought to cut through the rhetorical tricks and literary seductions that disguised the truth of Jesus’s life and death on the cross. Lawrence, H.D., Mary Borden, and Iwan Nashiwin. This chapter emphasizes the influence of George Moore’s The Brook Kerith (1916) on later versions of the Jesus-novel by D. Following in the wake of Higher Criticism, this enormously popular genre mixed biography and fiction in its retelling of the life and death of Jesus, a process that often reduced Christ to man rather than god, and the Gospels to literature rather than scripture. Chapter 3 examines the interwar revival and transformation of a genre that had a Rationalist agenda inbuilt: New Testament biofiction or, in Graham Holderness’s words, the Jesus-novel.
