A provocative book from a highly original scholar, challenging much of what we know about early Christian manuscripts[Nongbri] sets out to demystify the discovery of ancient writings, advancing a more sober and realistic framework for assessing the breathless claims and counterclaims that appear in the media. . . . For those wanting to know something of the material basis for the worlds most published (and possibly, read) book, Nongbris own book is a gift.Luke Timothy Johnson, CommonwealIn this bold and groundbreaking book, Brent Nongbri provides an uptodate introduction to the major collections of early Christian manuscripts and demonstrates that much of what we thought we knew about these books and fragments is mistaken. While biblical scholars have expended much effort in their study of the texts contained within the earliest Christian manuscripts, there has been a surprising lack of interest in thinking about these books as material objects with individual, unique histories. We have too often ignored the ways that the antiquities market obscures our knowledge of the origins of these manuscripts.Through painstaking archival research and detailed studies of the most important collections of early Christian manuscripts, Nongbri vividly shows that the earliest Christian books are more than just carriers of texts or samples of handwriting. They are threedimensional archaeological artifacts with fascinating stories to tell, if were willing to listen.
