"In conclusion, R.'s work is a valuable introduction to an oft
embattled figure in patristic studies, and it does well in offering
a different picture of Theophilus than is found in more traditional
interpretations. Furthermore this book highlights the shifting
balances of ecclesiastical power and authority in late antiquity
through the life of one of the more notorious and colorful
characters of the day.Scholars and students interested in church
history, patristics, and the later Roman empire will benefit from
this work."Reviewed by Young Richard Kim, Calvin College

'There are many ways in which Norman Russell's virtual 'discover'
of Theophilus, for the benefit of a mainstream audience,
contributes to fill in gaps in our understanding of various
episodes in the early Church. Russell is to be commended finally
not only for providing important material for filling in these
gaps, but also for convincingly presenting the complex figure of
Theophilus as interesting on its own merits...Russell's own
authorial voice speaks with elegant clarity, erudite and persuasive
in the opening introduction, clear and fluid in the translation.'

Russell's attempt to gain him a hearing, and a sympathetic one,
is...bold and original.' - International Journal for the Study of
