Reviews

It has been over 60 years since a critical edition of the Epistle to Diognetus was published in English. That edition, by Henry Meecham, stood the tests of time well. But with the advent of Oxford University Press' Oxford Apostolic Fathers series, Clayton N. Jefford has produced a worthy successor... In sum, Jefford's edition has become the essential reference on all things having to do with the Epistle to Diognetus. Scholars working with it or with texts that may share some intertextual relation with it should take the time to consult and benefit from Jefford's work.
