"A critical examination of the ancient Christian texts reveals
an amazing range of diversity of beliefs within the first few
decades of the nascent Christian movement. This diversity speaks
to the activity of the living Word thriving in various
environments, an early confirmation for the theological variety
that is the experience of the church today. Within the letters
of Paul, the sociological, historical and geographical
particularity of Christian belief and praxis is most evident,
which is why I delight in the study of ancient literary
correspondence."
