AB  - The study of the New Testament text is far broader than the reconstruction  of its earliest attainable wording. As historical artefacts, manuscripts  preserve information about the context in which they were produced and  their use in subsequent generations, as well as pointing back towards an  earlier stage in the transmission process. References made by Christian  authors to the textual culture of the early Church, in addition to their  biblical quotations and more general scriptural allusions, transmit  information about the treatment of the documents as well as attitudes to  (and the form of) the canonical text at the time. The task of the modern  textual scholar is as much to map the continuity of the New Testament  tradition as to reach behind it for a primitive form which was unknown to  most later users.
