From Library Journal
Since the first edition of this major reference work appeared (LJ 5/1/90), it has been extensively revised and enlarged, adding 32 writers, 268 entries, and approximately 230 pages. Bibliographies are updated, errors corrected, and more maps, plans, and illustrations (not seen) added. Entries are kept as nontechnical as possible (definitions are given where applicable) and offer such items as subject, antecedents, chronological or topical development within early Christianity, and a list of the main patristic sources. Remarkably successful in its aim to be comprehensive for the period, the book ranges from the life of Jesus to the seventh century, although a few modern scholars, institutes, journals, etc., important to the field are included. Although the Bible is treated only in relation to its use in postbiblical development, that coverage has been expanded, as has coverage of the extension of Christianity into the East; historical context has been strengthened as well. This substantive reference work will continue to appeal to general readers and students as well as specialists. Highly recommended.?Eugene O. Bowser, Univ. of Northern Colorado, Greeley

Midwest Book Review
This is nothing short of a remarkable achievement: over 150 scholars with varied academic credentials contribute to a set which assimilates and details a huge mass of research and religious historical discoveries, presenting over 1,200 entries which explore all aspects of early Christianity. This second edition enlarges and vastly expands upon the original, including new treatments of saints, worship practices and modern scholarship, along with new focuses on biblical books and social history. An excellent set which should be a 'must' reference in any religious school's library.

Reader Reviews
While it doesn't have everything you want to know, as has been noted by some reviewers, it is still the best one-stop reading for a good introduction to the topic of early Christianity in all of its great variety. 167 contributors (including W.H.C. Frend, Bruce Metzger, Boniface Ramsey, Theodore Stylianopoulis and Robert Wilken, Jaroslav Pelikan) and 1,244 entries with extensive bibliographies for more research. Enjoy!
