What is Understanding the Staurogram Symbol about?
Larry Hurtado published a new article in Biblical Archaeology Review about the "staurogram", an early Christian symbol. The staurogram is a scribal abbreviation made by superimposing the Greek letters tau and rho, which can be interpreted as a crucified man on a cross. Scholars believe this was one of the earliest visual references used by Christians to represent the crucified Jesus. The symbol appears in early New Testament manuscripts from the 3rd century CE.
