Review
"This is a magisterial, exhaustive and encyclopaedic treatment of a central and primal question in religious studies which towers above most other attempts to answer it... ." Noel King "This massively learned work is a study of the overarching principles that controlled early Christian historical narratives - There is no book that is so intricate in detail or wide-ranging on its theme." - Journal of Religious History "It is a big book and a very thoughtful one, on an important topic which, despite much modern enlightened thought, has refused to go away." - Peter Brown, Princeton University "Early Christian Historiography surveys a vast period of historical writing, from the Ancient Near East to late Christian antiquity. As the bibliography reveals, this is a book that has been in the making for at least three decades ... useful in bringing to the fore an important theme in much ancient history-writing." - Journal of Ecclesiastical History
