"Those with any historical bent will be intrigued by the way a
story usually overlaid with thick layers of theological speculation
is unraveled. . . . And those who simply have an interest in how
groups form in an era . . . will be fascinated by this case study
of one particular community that has ramifications for
understanding all other communities."—Robert McAfee Brown, New York
Times Book Review
"Meeks' book has much to recommend it and it certainly is a
step towards a deeper appreciation of the early urban
christians."—W.R. Domeris, University of Cape Town, Journal of
Theology for Southern Africa
"Highly informed and very readable."—E. Earle Ellis, Reformed
Review

Studies
