Cyprian’s Three: What the Third-Century Bishop Does—and Does Not—Witness to in 1 John 5:7
Cyprian’s appeal to ‘the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost’ followed by ‘these three are one’ is neither a complete third-century transcription of the Comma nor a datum that may be waved away. It is early, specific, and…

God or He Who? 1 Timothy 3:16 Does Change the Proposition
In 1 Timothy 3:16, one small group of strokes carries a large claim. The received Greek text reads Theos ephanerōthē en sarki: “God was manifest in the flesh.” The modern critical text reads hos ephanerōthē en sarki: “who was manifested in the…

The Fathers Who Said Θεός: Chrysostom, Theodoret, and the Witness the Apparatus Cannot Count
Chrysostom and Theodoret do more than affirm the deity of Christ. Both cite 1 Timothy 3:16 as “God was manifest in the flesh” and expound the clause as apostolic Scripture. Their evidence must be weighed carefully, but it cannot be erased by…

The Rush to Print: Speed Is Not a Textual Theory
Erasmus’s 1516 edition was produced quickly. That fact does not prove the familiar commercial-race story, nor can it establish a particular reading without a reading-specific argument.
