This book challenges the long-held theory that the Western text of the New Testament originated in the West, offering new evidence that it emerged in Antioch, the Greek-speaking metropolis of the East. The author examines variations in the Greek text of the New Testament's book of Acts contained in the Codex Bezae (also known as Codex D), arguing that these can be explained by the assimilation of that Greek text to a Syriac text. The theory is supported by other evidence, including readings in the Latin version, citations of the New Testament found in early Christian writers, and an analysis of interpolations in the Codex Bezae. One of the implications of this reassessment is that this Western text must be much earlier than previously assumed, with important ramifications for the study of New Testament history.
