Review # 1 was written on 2017-06-12 00:00:00 Martha Martz As with any collection of essays this book is difficult to give a simple rating. Several of the essays are 5-star worthy and are worth the price of the book. Others were 3-star essays and so I'll settle on 4 stars.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-26 00:00:00 Neil Phelps A good introduction to Tertullian (this whole series has been good so far), with interesting notes and a clear survey of his life and thought. It also includes three texts that haven't been re-translated since the 19th century (Against the Jews, Antidote to the Scorpions Sting, On the Veiling of Virgins). My main problem with this book is that in his translations, Dunn purposely leaves difficult parts of Tertullian's Latin difficult in English. Which isn't a bad thing to do as a translator, it just isn't really appropriate for a book intended to introduce people to Tertullian.
