Title: A nice piece of early Christian thought
Product review: This book is not a new or critical translation. If, on the one hand, you are interested in this work for serious scholarship which involves linguistic considerations, look elsewhere. On the other hand, this is a great introduction to a very influential early Christian thinker. The Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching contains many of the doctrines that later became enshrined in the Nicene Creed, and it is a lot shorter and easier to read than Against Heresies. The commentary, which is considerably longer than the Demonstration itself is also nicely done.
