Description

Explore the origins of New Testament reading in Gospels before the Book by Matthew D. C. Larsen. This work from Oxford University Press investigates how first- and second-century readers engaged with sacred texts before the concept of a published book existed. For centuries, discussions about the gospels have been influenced by modern notions of authorship and the impact of the printing press. This book challenges those assumptions by looking at ancient writing and reading practices. By examining the period before the end of the second century, readers gain a new perspective on how these texts were actually experienced. This study moves away from modern interpretations to help you understand the historical context of the gospels. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in New Testament criticism and the evolution of biblical interpretation. Whether you are a student of theology or a reader interested in ancient history, this text offers a fresh way to approach the foundational writings of the Christian tradition.
