Description: The Message of Acts in Codex Bezae (vol 2) by Jenny Read-Heimerdinger, Josep Rius-Camps A comparison of the message of Acts transmitted by Codez Bezae with that of the Alexandrian text, represented by Codex Vaticanus. For each section of Acts, this work provides a translation of the Bezan and Alexandrian manuscripts, followed by a critical apparatus and, a commentary that explores the differences in the message of the two texts. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A comparison of the message of Acts transmitted by Codez Bezae with that of the more familiar Alexandrian text, represented by Codex Vaticanus. For each section of Acts, there is a side by side translation of the Bezan and Alexandrian manuscripts, followed by a critical apparatus and, finally, a commentary that explores the differences in the message of the two texts. It is concluded that the Bezan text, with its interest in internal Jewish affairs and its focus on the struggles of the early disciples to free themselves from their traditional Jewish expectations and to achieve, despite their mistakes, a more accurate understanding of their masters teaching, is the earlier of the two texts.

Acts 12.1-26 Bibliography Review "The problem is that we already know the text, have done for years, and are almost bored with it: it is genuinely difficult to study the Bible. In sych a context, this commentary has proved the most exciting help I have encountered for some time." -- New Directions"Another distinctive and significant contribution to the study of Acts... vigorous, insightful and readable, this growing work grows also in stature. May Volume 3 come quickly." Peter Doble JSNTS Booklist, 2007 -- Peter Doble"The authors present their stimulating and provocative case with undeniable learning, erudition, skill, insight, and patience. One need not accept either their perspective or their conclusions to enjoy, appreciate, and learn from their close (and often intertextual) reading of Acts." —Michael W.
