After years of dedicated New Testament research, Dr Tischendorf expressed dismay at the differences between the oldest and newest Gospels, and had trouble understanding... ...how scribes could allow themselves to bring in here and there changes which were not simply verbal ones, but such as materially affected the very meaning and, what is worse still, did not shrink from cutting out a passage or inserting one. (Alterations to the Sinai Bible, Dr Constantin von Tischendorf, 1863, available in the British Library, London) After years of validating the fabricated nature of the New Testament, a disillusioned Dr Tischendorf confessed that modernday editions have been altered in many places and are not to be accepted as true ( When Were Our Gospels Written? , Dr Constantin von Tischendorf, 1865, British Library, London). Just what is Christianity? The important question then to ask is this: if the New Testament is not historical, what is it?
