'this is a valuable study which offers a useful perspective on the
debate between free-will and determinism in the early church'
Gerald Bostock, Expository Times
'Lyman's thesis ... repays patient study and I believe she is
successful in showing that more complex models are needed by modern
scholars in order to grasp and describe the complexities of early
Christian expositions of theology.'
Michael Insley, Anvil, Vol. 11, No. 2, 1994
`This fascinating and illuminating discussion should be read not
just by the patristic specialist, but by the systematic theologian.
It may not be a work that alerts us to new material, but it most
certainly puts familiar material into a different perspective. The
book overtly challenges imbalances in previous expositions. The
readings offered ring true to the texts, providing an important
corrective to the standard judgements offered in the textbooks.
...
the plurality of settings and models within early Christian
theology needs the kind of recognition it is given here.'
Frances M. Young, Journal of Theological Studies, Vol. 47, No. 1,
Apr '96
