Synopsis"This is one of the more stimulating books on the Bible I've read in the past couple of years." --Peter Leithart Scripture is a beautiful mosaic of Christ. In Christ the Center , Tomas Bokedal shows how the canon is shaped by numerical patterns of nomina sacra --scribal reverence for divine names. These patterns, which especially revolve around Christ, reveal the devotional and theological preoccupations of the earliest Christians. The rule of faith is not a later development; it is in the very text of Scripture. Christ the Center shows a remarkable interplay between Scripture and theology., Scripture is a beautiful mosaic of Christ. The earliest Christians expressed their faith with creativity through symbols and summaries. In Christ the Center , Tomas Bokedal explores the relationship of the rule of faith, nomina sacra, and numerical patterns with Scripture. The nomina sacra --scribal reverence for divine names within Scripture--display remarkable intentionality and theological reflection. The nomina sacra in turn directed the emerging rule of faith. These scribal practices reveal early devotional and theological preoccupation and guided the text's shape and interpretation in the early centuries after Christ. Christ the Center showcases early Christian reverence for Scripture--and especially for the One of whom Scripture speaks.
