Scribes and Their Remains begins with an introductory essay by
Stanley Porter which addresses the principal theme of the book: the
text as artifact. The rest of the volume is then split into two
major sections. In the first, five studies appear on the theme of
'Scribes, Letters, and Literacy.' In the first of these Craig A.
Evans offers a lengthy piece that argues that the archaeological,
artifactual, and historical evidence suggests that New Testament
autographs and first copies may well have remained in circulation
for one century or more, having the effect of stabilizing the text.
Other pieces in the section address literacy, orality and
paleography of early Christian papyri. In the second section there
are five pieces on 'Writing, Reading, and Abbreviating Christian
Scripture.' These range across numerous topics, including an
examination of the stauros (cross) as a nomen sacrum.
