The Gospels In The Second Century

The Gospels in the Second Century is a book written by William Sanday that explores the development and reception of the four canonical Gospels in the early Christian Church during the second century CE. Sanday examines the ways in which the Gospels were transmitted, interpreted, and used by different Christian communities during this time period, and he argues that the Gospels were not fixed and authoritative texts from the very beginning, but rather underwent a process of gradual acceptance and standardization over several decades. The book is based on Sanday's extensive research into early Christian literature, including the writings of the Church Fathers and other early Christian authors, as well as on his own knowledge of biblical scholarship and theology. The Gospels in the Second Century is an important work for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the development of the New Testament canon, and the interpretation of the Gospels in the early Church.An Examination of the Critical Part of a Work Entitled 'Supernatural Religion'.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
