'[Edwards] demonstrates in an elucidating way the diversity and plurality of the theological thinking of early Christianity. [ - ] Edwards discovers a theological unity in places where it was previously not sought, namely in tenets and thinkers considered as heterodox. This original and intriguing study will certainly evoke much discussion in the research of early Christianity.' Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses
