--Robert Imbelli, Boston College

"Countless are the times I have needed to consult or share with a colleague or student one or another of these previously scattered essays. Scholars interested in Christology or in early Christianity should keep this marvelous collection of some of Daley's most influential articles, many of which have become classics in the field, ready at hand to read and share."
--Han-luen Kantzer Komline, Western Theological Seminary

"This book provides a unique and indispensable overview of early Christology. Few scholars have shaped the study and comprehension of patristic texts over the past generation in the way that Brian Daley has, and the speculative-thematic and historical-textual nuances of this book are a testimony to the importance of his landmark theological contribution. Following in the traditions of figures like Newman and Grillmeier, Daley offers us a vision of Catholic thought in which profound theological analysis and expert historical understanding are deeply allied and integrated. A wonderful book!"
--Thomas Joseph White, OP, Angelicum, Rome
