Christian Manuscripts, Texts, and Exegesis

The interpretation of Christian writings from antiquity often involves the use of modern translations or critical editions, but how did these translations or editions come about? This course considers various aspects of early Christian manuscripts and issues related to the early transmission of the New Testament, along with the relevance and significance of these aspects and issues for exegesis. As the course will often be working with digital images of ancient manuscripts or modern critical editions, some knowledge of New Testament Greek is required.
