Abstract

These four books, all exemplary, attest the vibrancy of patristic scholarship today, and especially the fascination which the pre‐Nicene period increasingly exerts. Stepping back behind Nicaea demands a refined sense for the texture of history, which may bring to light possibilities later lost as well as tensions later smothered. The four authors have illuminated afresh the theological profiles of Ignatius, Clement, and Origen, and also the figure of Christ as it emerges in these pristine centuries between the New Testament and Nicaea.
