Reviews

A major and definitive step forward... Reece's specialties in palaeographical and comparative issues have here contributed greatly to Pauline and New Testament studies. It is a necessary read for Pauline scholars and even readers at the advanced undergraduate level will find it both accessible and beneficial. -- Dominic Mattos Bryn Mawr Classical Review
