Reviews

every theological library needs to have a copy of this excellent book. Lucian Turcescu, A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies Norman Russell is nothing if not thorough Lionel Wickham, Journal of Ecclesiastical History Norman Russell presents his subject with the assurance of a master... He displays not just understanding of the material, but also a clear awareness of the field of patristic studies... this is a masterpiece of what historical discussion of Christian doctrine should be: historically acute and theologically perceptive. Andrew Louth, The Times Higher Education Supplement The scope and precision of this book are beyond praise...the work is an admirable resource and could ardly be bettered. Anthony Meredith, The Journal of Theological Research
