The Earliest Christian Artifacts Manuscripts and Christian origins Larry W. Hurtado Grand Rapids, Michigan William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company 2006 248tr. Paperback 23cm `Much attention has been paid to the words of the earliest Christian canonical and extracanonical texts, yet Larry Hurtado points out that an even more telling story is being overlooked - the story of the physical texts themselves. He introduces readers to the staurogram, possibly the first representation of the cross, the nomina sacra, a textual abbreviation system, and the puzzling Christian preference for book-like texts over scrolls.` `Drawing on studies by papyrologists and palaeographers as well as New Testament scholars - and including photographic plates of selected manuscripts - The Earliest Christian Artifacts examines the distinctive physical features of early Christian manuscripts, illustrating their relevance for wider inquiry into the complex origins of Christianity.` Christianity -- Origin Christian literature, Early -- Manuscripts https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/5915/the-earliest-christian-artifacts.jpg Cover Image Huỳnh Hà Hồng Phúc 211001 TKH 5817 5817 0 0 0 0 TVCD TVCD 2026-01-20 0.00 0 TVCD-5817 0.00 BK
