Summary: A Great Translation of a Great Work
Review: !!Sorry didn't mean to submit this twice. !!

I highly recommend this title! I wanted to read this important work to better understand early church history, but I was uncomfortable with some of the other translations I've read. Paul L. Maier explains that he cut out some of the wordy ness of the translation to make it an easier read. If your looking for a literal translation this is not it, but if your wanting to understanding the book without having to wade through the older style wording, this is the one your looking for.

Having commented on the translation, let me add that the work itself is so insightful. The commentary at the end and the footnotes help to properly weigh what your reading. There is so much I enjoyed about the work, however, what has jumped out to me is the early traditions concerning Easter and the accounts of the persecution against the church. Enjoy!
