Book Reviews of The Apostolic Fathers: Greek Texts and English Translations
Book Review: A good translation of the Apostolic Fathers.
Summary: 4 Stars
Michael Holmes has made available a very clean and lucid translation of the Apostolic Fathers. I am thankful for his contribution to patristic reading. The textual apparatus is particularly useful. The typical Greek on one page and English on the other is a basic feature, but an important one nonetheless. A group of graduate students and I regularly get together to do Greek readings with the Apostolic Fathers and we have found Holmes book to be of great benefit for this process. We also use the Loeb Classical Library edition once translated by Lightfoot, but revised by Ehrman. The translation that Holmes has is a good one, however, there are some instances where it would "make sense" to go with the reckoning that Ehrman has taken with the text. It should be known that I am a Biblical scholar and not strictly a patristic scholar. Holmes edition has a beautiful cover and the organization is very clear with distinct headings and spacing. I do recommend that anyone who is serious about reading Greek patristics use Ehrman along with Holmes to compare the translations. Any serious student of the Greek might see the translation as a bit of a hindrance in that they would be attempting to produce their own translation when it is provided. Regardless, it is a pleasant addition to my library and I highly recommend it to others' libraries as well.
