Focusing on the unique scribal habits of early manuscripts, the book provides an in-depth analysis of singular readings in Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, and Ephraemi. It reveals that scribes frequently omitted text, harmonized passages, and made significant theological alterations to the Apocalypse. By integrating recent text-critical research with the work's reception history in the early church, the author presents the first systematic study that considers the theological motivations behind these scribal changes, offering fresh insights into the text's evolution.
