A New Eusebius

Theology

“For half a century, A New Eusebius has been the means by which many of us first heard the voices of the early Christians in their own recording. Chronologically ordered and topically selected, this anthology still provides the most noteworthy witnesses to the church's formation in its sufferings, doctrinal disputes, and professions of faith.”

Augustine and Nicene Theology

Theology

“Now in a collected form, Barnes’s essays most usefully show how Augustine and his predecessors must be more thoroughly contextualized within the theological-historical stream of pro-Nicene Latin theology. . . . The serious student of Augustine today cannot avoid the force of Barnes’s conclusions and will find in them a necessary set of correctives upon which future portraits of Augustine can be structured.”

Early Christian Readings of Genesis One

Science & Faith

“This book is a must-read for anyone who wishes to understand the unique features of patristic exegesis. Allert provides a judicious and much-needed defense against making the early Fathers conform to various conservative versions of interpreting Scripture. Using the Genesis creation account, the reader is invited to see that the ancients were far more imaginative and biblically minded than we credit them.”

Evangelicals and the Early Church

History & Biography

“Here is a collection of essays that invites the reader to wrestle along with the authors over the query why evangelicals have not embraced more fully the early church as part of their theological and ecclesiastical legacy. It is certainly a question of importance. The appropriation of the early church by essentially free-church segments of contemporary Christianity remains at the experimental stage however much momentum it has gained over the last twenty years. Of varying degrees valuable insights are offered in this book with which pastoral and academic leadership needs to grapple for the future of evangelicalism.”

From Nicaea to Chalcedon

Theology

“The original edition of From Nicaea to Chalcedon was a standard work on the most illuminating Greek writers of the fourth and early fifth centuries. This new edition deserves to assume that status also. Since so much of this period has been reconstructed and rewritten over the last thirty years, a patrological-style handbook as produced here is most welcome.”

God's Many-Splendored Image

Theology

“A straightforward account of ancient Greek anthropology and spirituality that shows other, non-Augustinian methods for understanding the human condition before God. This side of patristic theological development deserves to be heard.”

Making Disciples

Discipleship & Christian Education

“In this cultural moment when we are bombarded by many voices that seek to mold the soul, the timing and content of Fogleman’s guide to the nature and act of Christian instruction couldn’t be better. Herein is a most vital guide of instruction for whoever would instruct God’s people.”

The Inspiration and Interpretation of Scripture

Theology

“A most learned and realistic assessment of scriptural authority and use in the patristic era. Steeped in primary sources, Graves invites us to enter the interpretive world of the ancients instead of making them suit our expectations.”

Wealth and Poverty in Early Church and Society

Theology

“In this collection of essays, the reader will find insightful questions raised and conclusions made concerning the early Christian perspectives of need and surplus. It is refreshing to find careful attention paid to the kind of complexities that existed in the minds of those who wrote, directly or (mostly) indirectly, on these matters.”
