While biblical scholars have expended much effort in their study of the texts contained within our 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 our most important collections of early Christian manuscripts, Nongbri vividly shows how the earliest Christian books are more than just carriers of texts or samples of handwriting. They are three-dimensional archaeological artifacts with fascinating stories to tell, if we're willing to listen"--Dust jacket. 650 0 $a Christian literature, Early $x Antiquities. $x Antiquities. 650 0 $a Manuscripts, Greek (Papyri) $x Antiquities. 650 0 $a Christianity $x Origin. 941 $a 3 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014653.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190905042248.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20190524010440.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C020EBF0C79A11E8A4FBF36897128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
