About this listen

 In part 1 of a two-part episode, British linguist Dr. Jenny Read-Heimerdinger's groundbreaking research on Codex Bezae challenges fundamental assumptions in biblical textual criticism. Through discourse analysis and deep study of this fifth-century manuscript, she reveals it preserves authentically Jewish elements of Luke-Acts that were later removed as Christianity separated from Judaism. Her work suggests the so-called "Western text" isn't corrupted with additions but actually closer to the original, while the standard Alexandrian text used for modern Bible translations represents a later "de-Judaized" version—a substantial paradigm shift for the field.
