The five traits Bokedal identifies are: Christian adoption of the codex format; the use of canonical sub-units; the introduction of New Testament book titles; the use of nomina sacra – “sacred names,” such as God, Jesus and Spirit – and additional structuring through arithmetical elements.\u003cbr\u003e      Bokedal explores these features in detail, showing how the codex, and not the scroll, came to be a material symbol of Christian textuality; how the first-and second-century canonical sub-units became the most decisive ingredients in the biblical canon formation process; how the nomina sacra epitomised the embryonic creed of the first Christians; and how arithmetical features were standard ingredients in the codicological design of early Bible manuscripts.\u003cbr\u003e      Bokedal's study has wide-ranging implications for understanding how early Christian texts developed, and for the canon formation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTomas Bokedal\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in New Testament and Early Christianity, NLA University College, and Docent in New Testament, Lund University, Sweden.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e02 September 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT\u0026amp;T Clark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780567715135\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52227934781580,"sku":"9780567715135","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780567715135","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
