By Andrew W.R. Hunwick

In Critical background of the textual content of the recent Testament, seventeenth century Oratorian Richard Simon (1638-1712), 'father' of contemporary biblical feedback, surveys the genuineness, accuracy, authority, and reliability of all then identified assets of the hot testomony. He makes rigorous, aim, and professional use of a spectacular volume of fabric in terms of the text--Greek and Latin manuscripts, early types, quotations from the outdated testomony within the New, from the Church Fathers and different commentators of all classes. although in his day Simon was once contradicted, antagonistic, persecuted, and silenced, it truly is accurately simply because, 3 centuries in the past, he dared to be assorted, and thanks to his wisdom and his scrupulously "scientific" process, that his paintings merits to arrive a much broader viewers.

Example text

He himself is compelled to admit the fact, since in his treatise The Authority of Holy Scripture he admits that within the Church, from the apostles to Eusebius, no one doubted that the New Testament books were written by those whose names they bear, since unquestionably some heretics outside the Church not only entertained doubts on the matter, but completely repudiated those books. What misled Socinus and other sectarians was their false notion of the Church’s authority, and their misconception that the Church’s pronouncement that the books in the Old and New Testaments are divine and canonical relies on authority alone, and not on trustworthy written evidence.

The same applies to the Syriac, Ethiopian and Persian texts. In short, the Latin version alone has Gospel of Jesus Christ, which was probably imitated from the opening words of the Gospel of St Mark. Whatever the case, the view of St John Chrysostom who held that no other of the Gospels was originally written with the titles they have now, strikes me as much more likely than that of a handful of writers, especially among the Protestants, who ascribe the titles to the Evangelists present work]), Commentarii in quatuor evangelistas … ed.

It is much more likely that the early Christians edited them at a time when it was believed that these Gospels really were by those whose names were on them. Hence we find the name of St Luke added to the start of some Greek manuscripts of the Acts of the Apostles, as I have observed in three manuscripts in the King’s Library.
