Cur Deus Verba

Theology

“Only the wise teacher can write a book on a difficult subject that will be of real interest to both the novice and the expert. Jeremy Holmes has written such a book. His style is engaging, even conversational, with touches of gentle humor, but never at the expense of clarity or the reverence due the subject matter.”

Faith and Love in Ignatius of Antioch

Theology

“Fifty years ago, Olavi Tarvainen penned a masterful little treatise on the thought of Ignatius of Antioch in his native Finnish and had it published in German. Writing within the Lutheran tradition but with an ecumenical outlook, Tarvainen convincingly demonstrates that the various elements of Ignatius's theology cohere around the core principles of faith and love. Jonathon Lookadoo's able translation now makes this valuable study available to an English-speaking audience.”
