| Summary: | For many students of the New Testament, manuscripts are encountered, if at all, only in the critical apparatus of the NA or UBS text with reference to an odd variant reading or two. Hurtado’s aim in this book is to show how the physical manuscripts themselves may provide fascinating insights into early Christianity. In this he largely succeeds and the book can be recommended (though perhaps with a health warning or two!) as a very readable introduction to the world of early Christian manuscripts, showing how many aspects of these artefacts of early Christianity can cast important light on several areas, whilst at the same time throwing up puzzles and problems which are at times hard to resolve. |
