Reviews and Awards
"...both classicists and New Testament scholars will appreciate what findings Roman Faith and Christian Faith does [offer]." -- Jamin Andreas Hübner, LCC International University, Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judiasm
"an enriching and incomparably prodigious treasure from which scholars can draw among numerous lines of inquiry. It is, quite simply, one of the most remarkable and necessary works in New Testament studies available today. I strongly recommend it for graduate studies and comprehensive exam reading lists and for the shelves of technical audiences and scholars in classics, New Testament, and systematic theology alike." -- Timothy Milinovich, Catholic Biblical Quarterly
"Among studies on faith in the New Testament, Teresa Morganâs distinctive and valid approach is that we best understand in the NT by locating it in the language and culture of the early Principate." -- Ilaria L. E. Ramelli (Catholic University-Angelicum-Princeton), The Journal of Roman Studies Vol.107
"Although a long, detailed, and scholarly work, this treatise is clearly organized, accessibly written, and repays diligent study of such a seminal topic. What is more basic to Christian faith than 'faith'?"--F. Scott Spencer, Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology
"Morgan's work is highly recommended. It not only tackles a colossal subject, but also makes sure to nuance those interdisciplinary moments that provide the most fuel to the ongoing discussion. Morgan fills a gap that was much needed; however, her work is also positioned in such a way as to point towards new, detailed analyses that need to be done in order to move beyond the material covered. Thankfully, she is kind enough to gesture towards these avenues of interrogation in her concluding section."--Taylor Weaver, Religion
"This book will be the fundamental text on this issue for a long time to come." --Theology
"It is impossible to do justice to the richness and depth of this study, let alone its many astute exegetical observations, in a single review..." --Ecclesiology
"This is a wonderful and refreshing book that offers insights for classicists, New Testament scholars, and those who bridge both fields..." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"This is a significant and magisterial study. One cannot read it without benefiting from the insights contained on every page..." --Expository Times
"[I]t is to be hoped that its conclusions cascade through the layers of modern Christianity to refresh more than just the thirst of professional scholars." --Church Times
