In this volume, biblical scholar and theologian Francois Bovon provides nineteen essays on topics of interest in the New Testament and early Christianity. Examining textual and iconographic witnesses ranging from the earliest Christian writings to a Byzantine icon from Cyprus, Bovon addresses critical issues in New Testament studies including early Christologies, notions of immortality and resurrection, ancient reception of Christian scripture, orthodoxy and heresy, manuscripts in the digital era, and others.
In this volume, biblical scholar and theologian Francois Bovon provides nineteen essays on topics of interest in the New Testament and early Christianity. Examining textual and iconographic witnesses ranging from the earliest Christian writings to a Byzantine icon from Cyprus, Bovon addresses critical issues in New Testament studies including early Christologies, notions of immortality and resurrection, ancient reception of Christian scripture, orthodoxy and heresy, manuscripts in the digital era, and others. Four of the essays appear for the first time in an English translation in this volume – two of which include the original Greek and critical apparatuses for two fragments of ancient apocryphal works. Bovon’s careful treatment of the topics at hand makes this volume a reliable guide for scholars and students who wish to deepen their understanding of early Christianity.

"The essays here assembled jointly relay a good impression of Bovon's vast expertise. His work on manuscripts and editions of ancient texts, his explorations of theological themes in early Christianity, his abiding interest in the apocryphal apostolic Acts, and his earnest commitment to bridging European...and North American scholarship on early Christianity--are all amply represented here." --Matthew V. Novenson, University of Edinburgh, Review of Biblical Literature, 2.8.2016
