Through innovative digital methods and newly uncovered manuscripts, When Jesus Rose Early re-examines the multiple Markan endings, revealing how scribes used commentaries and paratexts to shape this contested Gospel conclusion, forging new perspectives on early Christian thought and its complex textual fluidity.

When Jesus Rose Early is the first comprehensive study of the Markan conclusion to utilise the full potential of the digital revolution in manuscript research. This work explores how scribes addressed the Gospel’s ending through centuries, forging vital new textual traditions. With new manuscript evidence, this book reveals how manuscript marginalia, paratextual notes, and catena commentaries challenge conventional models and even modern categories like “endings”. Unpublished data from ancient manuscripts in a spectrum of languages unlocks fresh perspectives on early Christian thought. By merging groundbreaking research with a multidisciplinary approach, this work enriches New Testament Textual Criticism, biblical studies, and patristics.
