In addition to New [[Testament]] evidence, two modern discoveries show that “logia” existed in early Christian communities. Around 1900, remnants of an actual “logia” were unearthed near Oxyrncus, Egypt. Three papyrus fragments were found containing sayings ascribed to Jesus. They have been dated to the A.D. 200s, but are probably copies of an older collection. Each saying begins with “Jesus says.” Some of them can be found in the Gospels, while others are known from the Church Fathers. In addition, two “logia” of a community with [[Gnostic]] tendencies were found in 1946 near Nag Hammadi, Egypt. Dating from between A.D. 300-400, they contain over 200 sayings attributed to Jesus. </p> <p> The Gospels, as well as those New Testament sayings of Jesus found outside the Gospels (such as Acts 20:35 ), and the modern discoveries all demonstrate the early Church's concern for preserving Jesus' sayings. The same concern can be seen today in our red-letter edition Bibles. See [[Gnosticism]]; [[Luke]]; Mark; [[Matthew]]; [[Nag Hammadi]] </p> <p> Larry McKinney </p> | ||
