'Gospel' initially referred to oral proclamation concerning Jesus
Christ, but was later used to refer to four written accounts of the
life of Jesus. How did this happen? Here, distinguished scholar
Graham Stanton uses new evidence and fresh perspectives to tackle
this controversial question. He insists that in the early
post-Easter period, the Gospel of Jesus Christ was heard against
the backdrop of a rival set of 'gospels' concerning the Roman
emperors. In later chapters Stanton examines the earliest
criticisms of Jesus and of claims concerning his resurrection.
Finally, he discusses the early Christian addiction to the codex
(book) format as opposed to the ubiquitous roll, and undermines the
view that early copies of the Gospels were viewed as downmarket
handbooks of an inward looking sect. With half the material
previously unpublished and the rest carefully gathered from sources
difficult to access, this is a timely study with broad appeal.
