Synopsis

A Vindication Of The Authenticity Of The Narratives Contained In The First Two Chapters Of The Gospels Of St. Matthew & St. Luke: Being An Investigation Of Objections Urged By The Unitarian Editors Of The Improved Version Of The New Testament ; With An Appendix Containing Strictures On The NARRATIVES OF JESUS' BIRTH AND EARLY LIFE HAVE LONG BEEN TARGETED BY UNITARIAN EDITORS who REVISED THE NEW TESTAMENT. THIS WORK BY John Bevans PRESENTS A DETAILED DEFENCE OF THE GOSPEL NARRATIVES IN MATTHEW CH. 1–2 AND LUKE CH. 1–2, ARGUING FOR THEIR AUTHENTICITY AGAINST PHILOSOPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL OBJECTIONS. BEVANS SYSTEMATICALLY EXAMINES EXTERNAL EVIDENCE—MANUSCRIPTS, VERSIONS, APOSTOLIC FATHERS, AND EARLY CHURCH WRITERS—AND INTERNAL EVIDENCE, SUCH AS COINCIDENCE BETWEEN THE GOSPEL ACCOUNTS, PROPHECIES, AND THE UNITY OF TESTIMONY ACROSS THE NEW TESTAMENT. THE TREATISE ALSO ADDRESSES CRITICISMS FROM PAINE AND PRIESTLEY, EXPLORES THE GOSPELS OF THE NAZARENES, EBIONITES, AND MARCION, AND DISCUSSES CANONICAL AUTHORITY. THROUGH PREFACE, CONTENTS, AND EXTENSIVE APPENDICES, BEVANS DEFENDS THE TRADITIONAL VIEW OF CHRIST'S CONCEPTION, BIRTH, AND DESCENT, ASSERTING THE GENUINE NARRATIVES REMAIN AUTHORITATIVE.
