Books And Readers In The Early Church by Bruce Gamble
A History of Early Christian Texts
A concise history of how early Christian communities produced, circulated, and read texts, tracing the rapid adoption of the codex, the roles of scribes, patrons, and bishops, and the settings of public and private reading. It examines literacy and book culture in the Greco-Roman world, the copying and transmission of writings, and the social and institutional processes by which certain texts gained authority and were preserved, laying the groundwork for the formation of the Christian canon.
