Hi forum users,
I have some questions, especially for Paul Younan
[1] Does the Church of the East tradition teach that they received only twenty-two "certified / handsigned" books from apostles and / or their associates?
[2] Is it true that the West Syriac churches only had the only 4 Gospels + Acts circulating and then got copies of the rest of the Aramaic NT from the East?
[3] Are there 'textual families' for the Peshitta text?
[4] In any given Eastern manuscript, are there any deliberate modifications?
