Reviews

A handy and helpful publication, which can be used not only for teaching purposes, but also for introducing Oxyrhynchus and its papyri to readers from various disciplines.--Robert Mazza Bulletin of the American Society of Papyrologists ...Blumell and Wayment are to be congratulated for an impressive achievement: a much-needed resource, highly detailed and accurately executed. Anyone who has endured the constant searching and sifting of volume after volume of the Oxyrhynchus library will recognize immediately the value and convenience of this collection. In all, Christian Oxyrhynchus fills a glaring gap with an excellent and eminently useful tool for scholars as well as students who are interested in early Christianity, its people, and its texts.--Zachary J. Cole Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society This volume is sure to stimulate further investigation into the social, economic, and religious lives of Christians in Oxyrhynchus.--Geoffrey S. Smith Review of Biblical Literature Blumell and Wayment are competent and conscientious editors. We thank them for the results of their labours, which should bring these texts to an audience wider than that served by the original publications.--Paul Foster Novum Testamentum This is an exceptionally useful volume...The material presented here will enrich understanding of the life and concerns of this significant early Christian community.--Paul Foster Expository Times
