Review: HAVE THE EARLY CHRISTIAN WRITINGS BEEN TAMPERED WITH? by David Bercot

Throughout his decades as a writer and teacher, Bercot has relied heavily on the writings of the Ante-Nicene Church, from about 100AD to 325AD. This begs the question: are they reliable?

In his usual careful fashion Bercot investigates the question, presents his evidence, and comes to a conclusion. Not surprisingly, he decides they can be trusted. Given how much he's used them, that was perhaps a foregone conclusion, but this book depends less on where he ends up than on how he gets there.

Regular readers know that I like Bercot's work. I like this one too, though it's more about methodology than anything. Regardless of what it's about, though, I still recommend it.
