..an impressively learned and very wide-ranging work. * Anthony Meredith SJ, Irish Theological Quarterly *
The author's extensive erudition and knowledge of primary and secondary sources...make his achievement almost as remarkable as his initial ambition... This approach to pro-Nicene theology offers some illuminating insights... I maintain my stance on the opposite bank, but am glad to be able to salute a book of such good scholarship and stimulus from the other bank. * Maurice Wiles, The Journal of Theological Studies *
[A] meticulously researched monograph. * Andreas J Kostenberger, Faith and Mission, Vol. 23, No. 2 *
...this is a marvellous book that reaches its goals in an admirable way. * Johan Leemans *
a true theological adventure * Scripta Theologica *
