| Summary: | Spanning the disciplines of New Testament textual criticism and patristics, Houghton’s study of the text of John’s gospel known to Augustine and his citational techniques in relation to that gospel is an invaluable and groundbreaking work. The book falls into three major parts. In Part I, evidence is brought together from Augustine’s writings relating to the textual history of the Latin Bible prior to Augustine’s death. Part II chronologically surveys Augustine’s works, and notes a detectable change in the source of citations from John’s gospel. Here the switch from Old Latin versions to St Jerome’s revised text is carefully documented. The final part provides much of the ‘raw data’ that informs Houghton’s study. |
