Reviews

"Extremely well done."-- Robert M. Grant"This book is a clear, precise and up-to-date account of the early history of Christian doctrine. It is invaluable for an understanding of the formative period when the main lines of Christian dogma were laid down; and it presents a balanced picture of the early controversies in the light of modern scholorships."-- Cyril C. Richardson
