""Reading the Apostolic Fathers" provides a succinct but comprehensive introduction to Christian literature of the 'sub-apostolic' age. It provides the basic background information needed to read these texts intelligently and provides bibliographical aids for further study. The work will be of special interest to students beginning their study of the history of early Christianity."--Harold W. Attridge, University of Notre Dame
"The layout of the printed page is as visually satisfying as the text is intellectually gratifying. . . . It is this kind of responsible summary and survey of a complex body of scholarship on a collection of ancient texts that will make interdisciplinary scholarship truly possible. . . . They have also produced the best kind of textbook, providing a student with a complete orientation and leaving to her the final task of reading the text."--Karen J. Torjesen, Institute for Antiquity and Christianity of the Claremont Graduate School
