Reviews

'... a well presented and convincingly argued thesis, in the best tradition of scholarly enquiry.' The Downside Review 'There are few full studies in English which discuss the question of the historical Dionysius, while keeping in mind the sociology of the sixth-century Church, in such an accessible, creative manner.' Church History
