Words Are Not Enough

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This book demonstrates with admirable clarity the multiple ways in which material philology can shed light on the transmission and reception of the New Testament. Focusing on the frames and margins of the biblical texts, Allen shows how people in various ways have engaged with the New Testament and its manuscripts, and why it is not enough to simply study the words of the biblical texts by themselves to understand its historical significance and impact.”
