Nearly 50 years later, Anne Waller Jenkins has written a preface for The Hidden Story, praising the author's "gift of clarity" and the "sheer joy and merriment" of his style.

Commentary of Theodore of Mopsuestia on the Nicene Creed
ISBN: 9781593338282 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Commentary of Theodore of Mopsuestia on the Nicene Creed is an important document of an instrumental age in the development of Christianity.

Mingana has published here, as Woodbrooke Studies 5, for the first time a document that had previously been lost and which contains...
