Review Quotes: "...a very successful achievement which, as the first book-length study of Acts of Archelaus, deserves to be used an discussed in future studies of Manischaeism." - Nils Arne Pedersen, Journal of Early Christian Studies, 2008
"Frontiers of Faith has much to offer students of early Christianity and Manichaeism. [...] The contributors' honest and thoughtful engagement with intellectual and research questions ranging from source and textual criticism to the study of narrative representations and formation of cultural identities commends their collaborative work as a model for furture inquiries." - Richard LIm, Smith College, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly 73 (2011)
