The Earliest Christian Artifacts by Larry Hurtado, which has become the first book I read on Kindle.
While the chapters on the nomina sacra and the staurogram have some interest, it’s probably true that this is not a book even for the general bible-interested public. The topic of how much we can learn for early Christian history from ancient Christian manuscripts is not for anyone who has yet to get past NA27/UBS4. And if you don’t know what those are, well….
The one thing I did learn was that I have to read Lord Jesus Christ:Devotion to Jesus in Earliest Christianity, as Hurtado manages to footnote it almost constantly.
