Recenzje

The Gospels did not first exist as disembodied texts but as manuscripts. In this book, Chris Keith explores with sophistication and verve that deceptively simple observation, and demonstrates convincingly that the material aspects of early Christian gospel production illuminate the growth of the gospel tradition and its identity-forming function in liturgy. A wide-ranging and compelling set of interlocking arguments that is sure to be much discussed.
