Editorial Reviews
Review
"The translation is excellent--accurate, of course, but more: graceful, and rather colloquial. The translator has managed to avoid the stilted quality of many translations of works from this period....The notes to the translation are also excellent--very informative on historical and doctrinal matters."--Elizabeth Clark, Duke University
"This volume would be a valuable addition to any library or scholarly collection, and it would serve students, professors and researchers of church history as a useful resource. By reminding readers that Rufinus wrote his history to encourage the faith of believers in the turmoil of his own day, Amidon also recalls the power of history to give life to the present."--Journal of Early Christian Studies
"...a very useful and most welcome volume."--Religious Studies Review
