“The New Testament was not produced as a single work issued by an authoritative Church for the instruction of its members. The four Gospels were composed in different times and places over perhaps a third of a century, and for a time circulated separately among a number of other narratives of our Lord's life (of which the newly discovered fragment of an unknown gospel may have been one).” MayHas BeensDifferentChurchNumbersLordFourCenturyMembersThirdsNarrativeInstructionTestamentFragmentsOur LordNew TestamentDifferent Times Author:Frederic G.

“It is indeed a striking proof of the essential soundness of the tradition that with which all these thousands of copies, tracing their ancestry back to so many different parts of the earth and to conditions of such diverse kinds, the variations of text are so entirely questions of detail, not of essential substance.” KindDifferentEarthConditionsEssentialsTraditionDetailsProofSubstanceCopiesDiverseVariationAncestryTracingSoundness Author:Frederic G.
