GNOSTICS & THE NEW TESTAMENT
Chris continues his discussion about the controversial influence of Gnostics in the early centuries of Church history. Some scholars in the nineteenth century rejected the theory of Westcott and Hort because they believed these men had embraced the depraved readings of heretics which had been warned about by early church fathers, and were rejected by the majority of the Christian world. Do the leading manuscripts used by modern textual critics (the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus) show the activity of ancient Gnostic corruptions?
