Reviews

[T]his is an inspiring monograph that never fails to make its points clear ... Perkins' book is essential reading for scholars interested in Greek novels and early Christianity. - Alberto Quiroga, Ancient Narrative This is a valuable and stimulating contribution to the understanding of the complex interplay between early Christianity and the Roman imperial society and judicial system. It also casts much light onto the backdrop of crucial theological and anthropological Christian conceptions such as the incarnation of Christ and the resurrection of all human beings. - Ilaria L.E. Ramelli, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Review of Biblical Literature, April 2009
