Unlocking the mystery behind a contested verse in St. John’s Gospel.
This rigorous study examines how Latin recensions, African and Italian texts, and early manuscripts shape our understanding of a key verse and its origins. This book traces the argument through detailed manuscript evidence, including two Latin witnesses from before the commonly cited era. It explains how scholars use diplomatics, text families, and early church fathers to weigh competing readings. The author presents a clear method for evaluating textual authority and the place of the African Vulgate in the Western tradition.

Excerpt from Two Letters on Some Parts of the Controversy Concerning 1. John V. 7: Containing Also an Enquiry Into the Origin of the First Latin Version of Scripture, Commonly Called the Itala
It is obviously a matter of the greatest importance that all accessible evidence upon this important question should be laid before the public, and my principal object in now. Addressing you, is to communicate my observations upon two latin manuscripts of a date anterior to any hitherto attributed to those containing the verse, by the opposers of its genuineness; which however, will be shown to contain it.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an insightful look into the long-standing controversy surrounding the verse of the Three Witnesses (1 John 5:7). The author's central argument concerns the extended debate over the authenticity of this verse, with particular attention to Latin translations and testimonies from the Church Fathers. The author analyzes key Latin manuscripts and patristic writings, arguing that the verse was likely omitted from some early Latin translations due to scribal error, leading to its exclusion from the text in subsequent versions. The book also explores the dogmatic implications of the verse for the understanding of the Trinity within early Christianity, particularly during the Arian controversy. By examining the historical and theological context of the verse, the author sheds light on the complex process of scriptural transmission and the development of Christian doctrine. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in biblical criticism, textual history, and the evolution of Christian thought.
