"""Taylor Walls presents a clear and balanced introduction to the status and role of Scripture in the apology for Christianity by Theophilus, the second-century bishop of Antioch. It is informed by healthy recourse to scholarly voices. Its strengths include its clarity, thoughtfulness, and soundness of analysis. Modern readers curious about how Christians used Scripture a century after the days of the apostles will find surprising lessons here."" --Stuart E. Parsons, professor of Bible and theology, Trinity College of Florida ""Taylor Evan Walls has composed a summative, helpful, and handy assessment of Theophilus's perspective on Scripture. It contributes in important ways to current discourse on the reception of Scripture in early Christianity, to contemporary comprehension of second-century theological constructs, and to understanding defensive agendas among early Christians as they sought to define themselves within a diverse world."" --D. Jeffrey Bingham, research professor of historical theology, Southwestern Seminary ""Like a meticulous archaeologist, Taylor Walls carefully and systematically uncovers Theophilus of Antioch's view of Holy Scripture contained in the church father's surviving apologetic work, Ad Autolycum. In doing so, Walls demonstrates that the notion of Scripture as the foundation of theology (principium congnoscendi theologiae) is not a late product of the Protestant Reformation but is found in nascent form among the early apologists for Christianity."" --Robert Gonzalez, academic dean, Reformed Baptist Seminary"
