Logia Iesou

Logia Iesou: Sayings of our Lord from an Early Greek Papyrus is a book written by Bernard P. Grenfell. The book is a scholarly work that focuses on the study of a collection of early Christian texts known as the Sayings of Jesus, or the Logia Iesou. These texts were discovered in the late 19th century by Grenfell and his colleague, Arthur Hunt, in the ancient Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchus. The texts are written in Greek and are believed to date back to the 2nd century AD, making them some of the earliest surviving Christian writings.The Logia Iesou consists of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus, many of which are similar to those found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. However, there are also some unique sayings that are not found in the canonical Gospels. Grenfell's book provides a detailed analysis of the texts, including their language, style, and content. He also discusses the historical and cultural context in which the texts were written, as well as their significance for the study of early Christianity.Overall, Logia Iesou: Sayings of our Lord from an Early Greek Papyrus is an important work of scholarship that sheds light on the early development of Christian theology and the transmission of Jesus' teachings. It is recommended for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, ancient Greek literature, or the study of religious texts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
