Norman Russell was formerly Vice-Provost of the London Oratory and is now an independent scholar.
Norman Russell presents his subject with the assurance of a master... He displays not just understanding of the material, but also a clear awareness of the field of patristic studies... this is a masterpiece of what historical discussion of Christian doctrine should be: historically acute and theologically perceptive.

Anthony Meredith, The Journal of Theological Studies
