Reviews
This book does not merely illustrate the potential of a relatively new approach to the study of early Christianity: it is a substantial contribution to scholarship in a growing field. * Nicholas Taylor, Anaphora * Ritual and Christian Beginnings: A Socio-cognitive Analysis is a perfect example of a cross-disciplinary approach in which New Testament studies goes beyond itself, engaging other fields of science. . . . This book sets a high standard for anyone using a tool or a methodology from outside of one's home discipline, a standard to which all biblical scholars should strive. . . . It is highly recommended to those interested in the study of the rituals of any religious group of any time. * Review of Biblical Literature *

Uro also judiciously reflects on how to carry out inter- and cross-disciplinary studies on early Christianity in the multifaceted contemporary approaches on religion * Luca Arcari, Journal of Cognitive Historiography *
