Description

For the beginnings of Christianity, only two collections of Christian texts are known, which were called the "New Testament" – one written before the middle of the 2nd century, organized by Marcion of Sinope, and the one known to us from the later canonical New Testament, which was brought together from the time around Irenaeus towards the end of the 2nd century.

For the first time, this concordance opens up the Greek vocabulary of both collections and lists the more than 5,500 different words in comparison with passage references.

Similarities and differences in the language of the two collections become immediately recognizable and serve to determine the relationship between these two corpora and the writings contained therein. Questions such as the priority of one or the other collection, its historical, social and theological orientation emerge clearly
