Explore how ancient gospel texts were edited and interpreted, shaping core beliefs about Jesus. This book examines the ways parts of the New Testament were altered by early readers and how those changes influenced Christian doctrine. It also contrasts Christian usages with other faiths to illuminate how monotheism and the figure of Jesus were understood in different traditions.
The discussion centers on the text of the gospels, the Old Testament quotes used to “fulfill” prophecy, and how scholars re‑read passages to fit a developing portrait of Jesus. It explains why some traditional stories may reflect later interpretations rather than original events, and what this means for faith and history.
Drawing on manuscript evidence and critical readings, the work looks at examples from Matthew, Luke, and other sources, tracing how the idea of Jesus as the Messiah was formed. It also contrasts Christian views with Islamic reverence for Jesus, highlighting how different traditions honor or critique the person of Christ.
Ideal for readers interested in biblical criticism, church history, and the interaction between faith and scholarship.
