| Summary: | This volume of essays honours Henry Chadwick, probably the greatest and best-known of English scholars of early Christianity. The essays, written by many of the leading theologians and church historians in the English-speaking world, discuss different aspects of how Christianity developed norms and standards in its teaching, how it came to have - and to enforce - a definition of orthodoxy and heresy. It is a collection of fundamental work by internationally recognised experts. It covers issues of orthodoxy from the first right up to the sixth century, and its wide-ranging surveys of centrally important material in early Christianity will find broad appeal among scholars and students of Old and New Testaments, medieval history and patristics. Does it make sense to speak of pre-Nicene orthodoxy? / Rowan Williams -- Ànd I have other sheep'-John 10:16 / W.H.C. Friend -- Reason and the rule of faith in the second century AD / Eric F.
