Want to know more about the early church and the Bible?
8 May 2000
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This collection of essays about the use of the Scriptures in the early church is valuable to any student of the early church or of the Scriptures. Something often missing from commentaries on the Scriptures is an understanding of how they were used and received by the early church. This information ought to inform our methods for reading and using the Scriptures, as well as our understanding of them.
The essays on early liturgies, Christian art (i.e. iconography) and martyrs are probably the best in the collection, but those on asceticism and the use of the Bible by the early Bishops of the Church such as Iranaeus of Lyon are quite good as well.
Despite the price, this is a "must have" for any serious student of Church History or the Bible.

Excellent overview of the early church theology
15 Mar 2001
Format:Hardcover
Exceptional scholarship. The book is arranged chronologically covering the development of the scriptural canon and the theology surrounding the use of it. Good use of notes and a bibliography for supporting documentation. If you are interested in the early church this is a good place to start. If you are already knowledgeable of the early church you will still get a lot out of this scholarly book.
