".Mr Cruttwell has accomplished his task with remarkable success. His History 

 is eminently readable. . . 1 1 abounds in eloquent passages on subjects which have 



a deep interest for men of all times " —Atketueum. 



"The Author has accomplished his task admirably. I do not know how more could be 

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

 in the TheologiscJie Literaturzeitung. 



" 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."— Times. 



"A most interesting account of the literature of the Ante-Xicene age, written in a 

 free and agreeable style, with admirable and lucid descriptions of each Author, evincing 

 accomplished scholarship, great literary ability, and historical acumen."— Church Times. 



"The Sections on the Apostolic Fathers, the Apologists, and the Alexandrian writers 

 are very successful and full of instruction. The translations which enrich the work— 

 the Didache, 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 L it era turbla 1 t.

 English ChurcJunan. 



" Mr. Cruttwell's success— in making Early Christian Literature interesting to the 

 general reader of to-day — is great." — Scotsman.

 scholarly student. . . . We have interesting sketches and admirable translations of 

 interesting documents -and could wish there were more." — Manchester Guardian.
