"This very important study of early Christian life will enlighten
anyone who reads it. It is a major contribution to the whole early
Christian world, based on sound learning and written to be read."
I. Howard Marshall
"Professor Aune has written the most comprehensive and detailed
study of early Christian prophecy yet to appear. He puts his
encyclopedic knowledge of ancient Judaism and the Greco-Roman world
to excellent account in placing Christian prophecy within its
context. . . . This book is a major contribution to New Testament
scholarship and will become the standard textbook on its subject."
G. R. Beasley-Murray
"David Aune's study of early Christian prophecy is an extraordinary
achievement. . . . The wide-ranging scope of this work and
constructive critical evaluation make it a notable contribution to
New Testament scholarship." F. F. Bruce
"Dr. Aune has given us a more thorough and comprehensive study of
early Christian prophecy in its setting than anything that I have
seen thus far." Ralph P. Martin
"Dr. Aune breaks new ground and challenges some well-accepted
positions. Earlier writers have been content to set New Testament
prophecy in continuity with its Old Testament counterpart. Aune
carves a fresh niche for his investigation by acquainting the
reader with prophecy in Greco-Roman culture as a milieu that cannot
be ignored. . . . His classification of the 'types' of early
prophetic oracles is bound to provoke discussion by setting this
study on the basis of firm, objective criteria. The result is a
most significant, exciting, well-constructed -- and eminently
readable -- book."
