Studia Patristica. Vol. CXXXII – A Myth of Historicity
Resetting Christian Origins
Edited by W.E. Arnal
Edited by W. Arnal, this volume presents the essays arising from a review panel convened to examine Markus Vinzent’s provocative <i>Resetting the Origins of Christianity: A New Theory of Sources and Beginnings</i> (Cambridge University Press, 2023). An introductory chapter outlines the book’s leading theses and notes the significant implications they may hold for our understanding of Christian origins. <br />The subsequent studies assess key elements of Vinzent’s proposal: the later dating of New Testament writings; the formative rôle assigned to Marcion in shaping both the Gospel and the Pauline Ten-Letter Collection of his “New Testament”; and the relevance of Josephus’ <i>Antiquitates Judaicae</i> and the <i>Didache</i> as alternative points of comparison. The possible Pauline imprint upon the Gospel of Mark is also explored. <br />Together, the essays combine admiration for the book’s bold reach with a measured critique of its gaps and open questions. A concluding bibliography surveys Vinzent’s contributions to the study of Christian beginnings.
