Editorial Reviews


"Many of Harnack's analyses and insights into 1 Clement retain their value in today's marketplace of historical inquiry. Cerone's adept translation has done a great service to Anglophone scholarship, by converting this wealth into usable currency. Critical readers will discover a worthy return on investment."


--Paul Hartog, Professor of Theology, Faith Baptist Theological Seminary



"Jacob Cerone's edition of Adolf von Harnack's seminal study of 1 Clement is an outstanding premiere to what promises to be an impressive series, Classic Studies on the Apostolic Fathers. From the characteristically erudite introduction to Harnack's essay by Prof. Larry Welborn, to the smooth translation of Harnack's influential 'farewell gift' to his church history students, to the four still-valuable articles on 1 Clement by Harnack appended to the essay, this volume shines with insight. For anyone interested in 1 Clement--which should be any student of early Christianity--this is a must-have volume."


--David J. Downs, author of Alms: Charity, Reward, and Atonement in Early Christianity



"This fine little volume provides a clear and lucid rendering of a classic German study not widely known and only rarely used by English readers of 1 Clement. The vibrant contemporary style and careful sensitivity to von Harnack's original emphasis is admirable. Cerone's careful work is much appreciated, and serious students of the Apostolic Fathers do well to have this publication available for their own research."


--Clayton N. Jefford, Professor of Scripture, Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology



"Scholarly study of 1 Clement must begin with Adolf von Harnack's treatments of it. Jacob Cerone has done a great service in furnishing an English translation of his essays. Complemented by Larry Welborn's introduction both to the letter and Harnack's interpretations, this collection will be an invaluable resource for the study of 1 Clement for years to come. I heartily recommend it."


--Harry O. Maier, Professor of New Testament and Early Christian Studies, Vancouver School of Theology



"Adolf von Harnack's introduction and interpretation of the 'First Letter of Clement, ' though published ninety years ago, is still one of the most important contributions for the study of the history of the early church. We can be grateful now to have an excellent translation which opens this book to the worldwide community of scholars working on early Christianity. Four appendices represent the development of Harnack's studies on this topic; the bibliography gives an overview on modern publications. L. Welborn in his essay 'Harnack's "Testament"' gives a critical survey on the historical context of Harnack and his work."


--Andreas Lindemann, co-author of Interpreting the New Testament



"Jacob Cerone provides scholars with a long-needed translation of Adolf von Harnack's so-called scholarly Testament: a famous small booklet on 1 Clement. Cerone manages to cast Harnack's often old-fashioned and at times a bit pretentious German in a pleasant and readable English and supplies the reader with all sorts of invaluable information in his accompanying notes. A must for all interested in 1 Clement or in von Harnack as an academic scholar."


--David du Toit, Professor of New Testament Studies, University of Erlangen-Nuremburg, Germany



"It is fortunate and salutary that this collection of influential studies on 1 Clement--including Harnack's last monograph--is now competently translated for a broader readership. Bearing a peculiar scholarly flavor today, these studies will certainly be of direct interest to scholars of 1 Clement and early Christianity, and at the same they will provide students with select material for incursions into the history of the field."


--Dan Batovici, author of The Shepherd of Hermas in Late Antiquity



Adolf von Harnack (1851-1930) was a world-renowned professor of church history at the Universities of Leipzig, Giessen, Marburg, and Berlin. His works History of Dogma (1895-1900), What Is Christianity? (1901), and New Testament Studies (1908-1912) have left their mark on studies of both church history and the New Testament. Jacob N. Cerone is a doctoral candidate at the University of Erlangen-Nuremburg. He is the editor of Jorg Frey's Qumran, Early Judaism, and New Testament Interpretation (2019) and the Apostolic Fathers Greek Reader: The Complete Edition (2019) and is a coeditor of The Pericope of the Adulteress in Contemporary Research (2016).
