Product description

Review

This is simply the best available sourcebook of its kind. ― Susan Harvey, Brown University

Anyone who teaches a class on early Christianity needs access to a collection of primary sources that have a brief introduction to each author, a clear and recent English translation, and excerpts short enough to be useful in an undergraduate survey class. This book fills that need, and I have been extremely grateful for its existence. ― Christine Sheparson, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville

I find After the New Testament to be very helpful and accessible. It is currently the best textbook available, since it offers a broad and rich selection of primary sources from early Christianity. ― Charlotte Radler, Loyola Marymount University

This book provides an excellent introduction to the general reader wishing to understand the development of early Christianity between the years AD 100--300, the years in which it was working out doctrines, liturgical practices and the boundaries of its canon of sacred texts in a pagan world, before the accession of Constantine and the subsequent Christianisation of the whole Roman empire in the fourth century. Written in a lucid style, uncluttered by footnotes (other than acknowledgements of translations/biblical references) and with clear explanation of all technical terms ... Ehrman is to be congratulated on presenting these texts in as accessible a way as possible to a wide audience. ― Sam Baddeley, Classics for All

Excellent well-rounded collection. I own most of the documents in other books, but this is the first one I turn to. Plus, Ehrman's intro notes are definitely good to have!

2.0 out of 5 stars Rather mediocre
Reviewed in the United States on 19 February 2022
Verified Purchase
Basically just a bunch of little excerpts, some of Apostolic material but most is sensational or heretical material. The author thinks the church suppressed or corrupted scripture and this bias is seen throughout the book. He takes excerpts from works and cuts portions out but doesn't tell you he abridged it. A tiresome text and not worth the time you'll waste figuring out it's worthless.
