But hidden behind these named and sainted individuals are a cluster of unnamed, enslaved coauthors and collaborators. These essential workers were responsible for producing the earliest manuscripts of the New Testament: making the parchment on which the texts were written, taking dictation, and refining the words of the apostles. And as the Christian message grew in influence, it was enslaved missionaries who undertook the arduous journey across the Mediterranean and along dusty roads to move Christianity to Rome, Spain, and North Africa--and into the pages of history. The impact of these enslaved contributors on the spread of Christianity, the development of foundational Christian concepts, and the making of the Bible was enormous, yet their role has been almost entirely overlooked until now." -- $c Provided by publisher. 630 00 $a Bible. $p New Testament $x Authorship. 650 0 $a Scribes $z Rome. 650 0 $a Slavery $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Church history $y Primitive and early church, ca. 30-600. 650 0 $a Slavery $x History $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Transmission of texts $z Rome. 650 0 $a Church history. 600 00 $a Jesus Christ. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240702031658.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=93952C08383D11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
