Review Quotes: "Henry Meecham's distinguished volume is a perfect fit for a series entitled Classic Studies on the Apostolic Fathers. Updated with regard to introductory matters, but never replaced as a commentary on this most interesting second-century document, Meecham's sensitive and detailed examination of the Greek text, drawing as it does on his wide reading of the classics, the Greek Bible, and early Christian writings, remains a must-read for the study of Diognetus."
--Michael Holmes, professor emeritus of biblical studies and early Christianity, Bethel University
"I highly recommend this revised republication of Henry Meecham's classic study on the Epistle to Diognetus. For years Meecham's commentary stood as an essential guide for English-speaking research, yet in time it became difficult to find. With this fresh edition there now is no excuse for patristic scholars not to have a copy in their own libraries. Read and enjoy!"
--Clayton N. Jefford, professor of Scripture, Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology
