About this product
Product Information
Much attention has been paid to words of the earliest Christian texts, yet Larry Hurtado points out that a even more telling story is being overlooked -- the story of the physical texts themselves.Long known for his nimble scholarship, Hurtado combines his comprehensive knowledge of Christian origins with an archivist's eye to make sense of these earliest objects of the faith. 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. "The Earliest Christian Artifacts" draws upon studies by papyrologists and palaeographers as well as New Testament scholars and includes an appendix listing all copies of identifiably Christian texts in manuscripts dated to the second and third centuries CE.Intended for intellectually engaged readers as well as New Testament scholars and students, "The Earliest Christian Artifacts "introduces the distinctive features of early Christian manuscripts, illustrating their relevance for wider inquiry into the complex origins of Christianity.

Reviews
Journal for the Study of the New Testament "This affordable volume will be extremely useful as a basic introduction to the character of manuscripts in early Christianity." E. A. Judge -- Macquarie University "A landmark study, clearly explained, cautious, yet intriguing. Why the experimental, indeed pioneering, exploitation of the book form (actually more awkward than dignified rolls)? Why try out punctuation and spacing? Why the novel signal for words given divine meaning? Why convert the word 'cross' itself into the earliest image of Christ? The many unknown Egyptian scribes prove more independent, yet more of a common mind, than had earlier been thought." Currents in Theology and Mission "This clearly written, interesting book illuminates an otherwise overlooked source for early Christian culture and faith." Choice "Although covering a technical subject, the book's prose is very accessible and clear. Essential." Expository Times "Anyone interested in earliest Christianity will learn new things here, and at a remarkably low cost."

The book contains many projects and instructions are easy to understand. The unique feature is the use of color so that you can stitch the project either with colored fiber or the more traditional black.
