Monogenes Theos: A Gnostic Corruption? Members Public

I am reposting New Testament textual scholar James E. Snpp Jr’s post where he shows that the reading moongenes theos (“only-begotten God”), being the read that many English versions adopt, may have been a heretical gnostic corruption that crept its way into the New Testament textual transmission.
