An "Essential Addition" to Your Library

Winter 2008-2009 | Volume 22 No 1

Bethel Seminary students and alumni may want to pick up a copy of a new book by Michael Holmes, College of Arts & Sciences professor of biblical and theological studies. The third edition of The Apostolic Fathers: Greek Texts and English Translations is receiving rave reviews.

The Expository Times, which featured it as their “Book of the Month,” said: “Holmes’ Apostolic Fathers is a landmark volume…The presentation is magnificent, the attention to detail first class, and the actual contents repay close study. This book is an essential addition to the libraries of all interested in the history of early Christianity, and even if one owns an earlier edition it is now time to update one’s library with this highly significant volume.”

Michael J. Svigel reviewed the book for Bibliotheca Sacra, saying: “This latest edition of the Greek-English text of the apostolic fathers offers Christian scholars, teachers, and pastors a significant addition to their libraries…This edition is sure to become the preferred edition for personal and classroom use by English-speaking academics and pastors as well as interested students of the early Church.” Apostolic Fathers also received positive reviews from Randall Buth at evangelicaltextualcriticism.blogspot.com.
