Abstract
Cook never gets lost in the astounding wealth of information he provides and, consequently, he wisely guides his readers through the diverse periods of time and through the many sources presented and commented on. In addition, throughout the whole book Cook is problem oriented and his approach methodically sound; his conclusions are careful and straight to the point, but he leaves room for his readers to judge on their own. This fascinating book is a ‘must have’ or ‘must read’ for scholars of early Christianity, but also highly recommended for advanced students and everybody interested in the time of early Christians and their relations with their pagan environment.
期刊介绍:
For over a century, the monthly Expository Times has distinguished itself from other periodicals by successfully combining an interest in all pastoral matters, practical and theoretical with the latest international biblical and theological scholarship. Each edition contains a central section which offers resources for the month for those conducting worship: a sermon by a preacher of distinction, exegetical notes and reports of group readings of the texts for the month, prayers and material for children"s worship. The Expository Times is an invaluable tool for disseminating scholarship relevant to the ministry, giving practical help to preachers, and maintaining a healthy interaction between theology and practice.
