Hello Craig, am just now getting acquainted with your blog. Regarding corruption of the NT text even before Islam, youll recall that document I'm still studying, the Talmud of Jmmanuel (TJ), which indicates that the corruption commenced during the process of the formation of the very first Gospel. This was in early 2nd century rather than in A.D. 60-90.

This comment is to let you know that the authenticity of this TJ document still stands intact, with ever more internal evidence (TJ versus Matthew) attesting to its genuineness.

But wouldn't you say that, through redaction criticism, the corruption of the Gospels occurred (further) as each Gospel writer made alterations in the previous Gospel(s) he edited?
