Studies on First Clement

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Jacob Cerone’s translation of Wrede’s classic studies on 1 Clement is fresh, careful, and a welcomed contribution to English-speaking students today! Indeed, Wrede’s insights are as relevant for contemporary scholars as when first offered at the end of the nineteenth century. I am confident Cerone’s efforts will be much appreciated by those who engage the fruits of his work.”

The Apostolic Fathers in English

History & Biography

“This newly revised, third edition of translations of the Apostolic Fathers by Michael Holmes offers a marked improvement over previous versions of the widely used Lightfoot/Harmer English-only tradition. In his own masterful style Holmes has reintegrated useful introductions and current bibliographies into the collection, tweaking the translations and advancing the overall feel of the volume. This work will undoubtedly make a worthy contribution to the personal libraries of students and scholars alike in patristic studies. I recommend it highly!”

The Didache

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

Foreword

(wrote the foreword)

The Didache Discoveries

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With this stimulating volume, Garrow offers a visionary restoration of the Didache with superbly reasoned explanations for some of ancient Christianity's most puzzling texts and traditions. His insight into the value of the Didache's teaching establishes solid footing for the early church's origins and provides intriguing answers to questions that would otherwise remain unanswered. I highly encourage scholars to give this work serious consideration as they pursue their own research into the Didache.”

The Epistle to Diognetus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I highly recommend this revised republication of Henry Meecham’s classic study on the Epistle to Diognetus. For years Meecham’s commentary stood as an essential guide for English-speaking research, yet in time it became difficult to find. With this fresh edition there now is no excuse for patristic scholars not to have a copy in their own libraries. Read and enjoy!”

The Letter of the Roman Church to the Corinthian Church from the Era of Domitian: 1 Clement

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This fine little volume provides a clear and lucid rendering of a classic German study not widely known and only rarely used by English readers of 1 Clement. The vibrant contemporary style and careful sensitivity to von Harnack’s original emphasis is admirable. Cerone’s careful work is much appreciated, and serious students of the Apostolic Fathers do well to have this publication available for their own research.”

The Shepherd of Hermas

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Michael Svigel and Caroline Buie bring fresh perspective to the enigmatic Shepherd of Hermas. Their review of issues is thorough and clear; their translation is alive and captivating; their illustrations are informative and precise; their conclusions are thoughtful and considered. I welcome this commentary and highly recommend it to students new to the field and scholars of patristic literature alike!”
