description: The First Edition of the New Testament is a groundbreaking book that argues that the New Testament is not the product of a centuries-long process of development. Its history, David Trobisch finds, is the history of a book—an all Greek Christian Bible—published as early as the second century C.E. and intended by its editors to be read as a whole. Trobisch claims that this Bible achieved wide circulation and formed the basis of all surviving manuscripts of the New Testament.
