Reviews

...an impressively learned and very wide-ranging work. Anthony Meredith SJ, Irish Theological Quarterly The author's extensive erudition and knowledge of primary and secondary sources...make his achievement almost as remarkable as his initial ambition... This approach to pro-Nicene theology offers some illuminating insights... I maintain my stance on the opposite bank, but am glad to be able to salute a book of such good scholarship and stimulus from the other bank. Maurice Wiles, The Journal of Theological Studies [A] meticulously researched monograph. Andreas J Kostenberger, Faith and Mission, Vol. 23, No. 2 ...this is a marvellous book that reaches its goals in an admirable way. Johan Leemans a true theological adventure Scripta Theologica
