The second century CE has often been described as a kind of dark
period with regard to our knowledge of how the earliest Christian
writings (the gospels and Paul's letters) were transmitted and
gradually came to be accepted as authoritative and then, later on,
as "canonical". At the same time a number of other Christian texts,
of various genres, saw the light. Some of these seem to be familiar
with the gospels, or perhaps rather with gospel traditions
identical or similar to those that found their way into the NT
gospels. The volume focuses on representative texts and authors of
the time in order to see how they have struggled to find a way to
work with the NT gospels and/or the traditions behind these, while
at the same time giving a place also to other extra-canonical
traditions. It studies in a comparative way the reception of
identifiably "canonical" and of extra-canonical traditions in the
second century. It aims at discovering patterns or strategies of
reception within the at first sight often rather chaotic way some
of these ancient authors have cited or used these traditions. And
it will look for explanations of why it took such a while before
authors got used to cite gospel texts (more or less) accurately.
