About the Authors

"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? Graham Stanton uses new evidence and fresh perspectives to tackle this controversial question. He also examines the earliest criticisms of Jesus, and early Christian addiction to the codex (book) format in place of the ubiquitous roll.
- The most thorough discussion in English of the origin and use of the term 'Gospel'
- Offers a detailed, up-to-date discussion of the origin and early use of the codex for early Christian writings
- Professor Stanton is highly respected internationally and has a huge reputation in New Testament studies
