✦ Synopsis

The volume 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. It looks for explanations of why it took such a while before authors got used to cite gospel texts more or less accurately.
