You’re St. Melito of Sardis! You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |
You’re St. Justin Martyr! You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers. Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers! |

There's a fascinating list of forthcoming commentaries for lots of series at: http://parablemania.ektopos.com/archives/2005/08/forthcoming_com.html
Congratulations Mike!
The latter two should be interesting to read in counterpoint. On the one hand we have Richard Pervo who has revived the Knox hypothesis of a radically late dating of Acts. On the other hand, we have Craig Keener the evangelical, who however is astonishingly well-versed in the primary literature. Together they probably represent the best informed radical and conservative commentators respectively on the subject.
From Richard Pervo:
The statement that my forthcoming (November) Hermeneia commentary is "radical" is erroneous. Not an attempt to revive John Knox's theory of date. He adduced little evidence and dated c. 140. I date Acts c. 115 (see Dating Acts [Santa Rosa, CA: Polebridge, 2006]). For which project made use of and appreciated your study of Miletus speech.
