Errors are corrected in place and recorded here, newest first. To report one, see the contact page.
How corrections work
Any reader may report an error through the contact page, giving the page, the sentence and the source that shows it is wrong. A report that is right is corrected on the page itself, so that no wrong statement stays up, and recorded here with the date, the page, what the page said and what it now says. A report that is not accepted receives a reply saying why, and if the point is one of reading rather than fact it may be published on Objections and replies instead. Corrections made in the course of preparing the text, such as scanning errors in the printed sources, are logged in the same way. The log is kept newest first and is never pruned; a website that argues from the record of the gospels should keep a record of its own.
| Date | Page | Was | Now |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-24 | The Gospel According to Islam, sections 25 to 27 and the notes | Shafaat’s reconstruction of the end: a namesake crucified by a clerical error, Jesus released, dying of illness on the road to Galilee; notes reading the Messiah as a confused figure and the signs as products of faith. | Follows the Qur’an as the measure: they did not kill him, nor crucify him; God raised him to Himself (4:157-158; 3:55), with the commentators’ reading and no name for the substitute. The notes are rewritten, and every departure is listed on the composition page. |
| 2026-10-24 | The Gospel of Thomas | The Coptic codex was copied in the fourth century, and three Greek fragments from Oxyrhynchus were copied around 200 CE. | The Coptic codex (Nag Hammadi Codex II, 2) was copied in the fourth or fifth century. Three Greek manuscripts from Oxyrhynchus, P.Oxy. 1, 654 and 655, range from the late second or early third century to the later third. Source: the manuscript information at gospels.net. |
| 2026-10-24 | The Gospel According to Islam, sections 1 to 27 | The text carried scanning errors from the printed edition: stray marks, broken references such as “Micah 5:2” and “Mark 11:1-11”, and “Bethsaida!” for Bethsaida. | Corrected against the printed text. In the notes, “Paul” is now “Paul of Tarsus”, as everywhere else on the website. |
| 2026-10-24 | Sayings of Thomas set aside | 74 sayings were listed as set aside, including sayings that are only unclear or beyond the measure. | 44 remain set aside (37 conflict with the Qur’an, 7 repeat another saying). The other 30 are now placed in the chapters with a colour mark and a note. |
| 2026-10-24 | The Gospel of Thomas | Two links in the introduction carried a stray backslash and did not work. | Links repaired. |
