The research includes an analysis and evaluation of Origen’s citations of and allusions to \u003ci\u003eActs\u003c\/i\u003e, with that information providing the basis for reconstructing and analyzing Origen’s text of \u003ci\u003eActs\u003c\/i\u003e, and thereby locating his text of \u003ci\u003eActs\u003c\/i\u003e within the history of the transmission of the New Testament. The working hypothesis at the outset of this research is that Origen’s text of \u003ci\u003eActs\u003c\/i\u003e should be most akin to the text of \u003ci\u003eActs\u003c\/i\u003e found in MS 1739 with perhaps some intermittent Western readings and a few Byzantine readings. The assumptions of previous scholars suggest this hypothesis. The results of this research, to the contrary, show that Origen’s text of \u003ci\u003eActs\u003c\/i\u003e is most akin to Codex Vaticanus (B03), following closely other Primary Alexandrian MSS, with no distinct Western readings, but in some cases, Origen shows knowledge of readings that reappear in some later secondary Alexandrian and Byzantine MSS of \u003ci\u003eActs\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55171286401398,"sku":"9789042941465","price":123.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_30700077.jpg?v=1737420325","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789042941465-the-text-of-acts-of-the-apostles-in-the-writings-of-origen","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
