is EMINENTLY READABLE. . . It abounds in eloquent passages on subjects which have
a deep interest for men of all times.” —A ¢heneuzit.

offered to the general reader than is contained in these 650 pages.”—Professor A. Harnack
in the Theologische Literaturseitung.

“It cannot be doubted that Mr. Cruttwell’s method, though somewhat novel in English
theological literature, is well adapted to harmonise with the dominant tendencies of modern
religious thought.” — Zv7es,

free and agreeable style, with admirable and lucid descriptions of each Author, evincing
accomplished scholarship, great literary ability, and historical acumen.”—Charch Times.

“The Sections on the Apostolic Fathers, the Apologists, and the Alexandrian writers
are VERY succEssruL and full of instruction. The translations which enrich the work—
the Didachkd, the Letter from the Churches of Lyon and Vienne, and the extracts from the
lately discovered ‘ Gospel of Peter ’—will certainly be heartily welcomed by many readers ”—
Theologisches Literaturblatt,

‘Precisely such a guide as is needed. . . . Admirably lucid and painstaking.” —
