Lewis Ayres is Assistant Professor of Historical Theology, Candler School of Theology and the Graduate Division of Religion, Emory University.
The author's extensive erudition and knowledge of primary and
secondary sources...make his achievement almost as remarkable as
his initial ambition... This approach to pro-Nicene theology offers
some illuminating insights... I maintain my stance on the opposite
bank, but am glad to be able to salute a book of such good
scholarship and stimulus from the other bank.
