Studies in Philology
Notes
on Early Christian Texts
E Bruce Brooks

 

This book consists of one student's notes on the early Christian writings and associated topics. It makes no attempt to be authoritative or complete. It focuses on what seem to be fruitful solutions of old problems, or apparently sound information on which to base future investigations. Besides texts proper, it includes subjects necessary to the analysis of the texts: key persons and places like Peter and Ephesus, and a few topics such as the Haustafeln and the Minor Agreements.

Arrangement is alphabetical, with a few refinements; thus, numerals precede letters:

Peter
1 Peter
2 Peter
Petrine Literature
