Reviews

This book will be the fundamental text on this issue for a long time to come. Peter Oakes, Theology It is impossible to do justice to the richness and depth of this study, let alone its many astute exegetical observations, in a single reviewa David Horrell, Ecclesiology This is a wonderful and refreshing book that offers insights for classicists, New Testament scholars, and those who bridge both fields Alicia J. Batten, Bryn Mawr Classical Review This is a significant and magisterial study. One cannot read it without benefiting from the insights contained on every page Paul Foster, Expository Times [I]t is to be hoped that its conclusions cascade through the layers of modern Christianity to refresh more than just the thirst of professional scholars. Cally Hammond, Church Times

[I]t is to be hoped that its conclusions cascade through the layers of modern Christianity to refresh more than just the thirst of professional scholars. Cally Hammond, Church Times What Teresa Morgan has done here is to offer a hard-won glimpse of the early Christian picture in its original colours Kate Cooper The Times Literary Supplement This is an excellent work. It is well written, thoroughly researched, cogently argued, and will no doubt be of great use, not only for scholars interested in pistis/fides, but also for those who desire a model of doing sociological research in antiquity. Sean A. Adams, Journal for the Study of the New Testament
