Clayton N. Jefford is Professor of Scripture at
Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology.
It has been over 60 years since a critical edition of the Epistle
to Diognetus was published in English. That edition, by Henry
Meecham, stood the tests of time well. But with the advent of
Oxford University Press' Oxford Apostolic Fathers series, Clayton
N. Jefford has produced a worthy successor... In sum, Jefford's
edition has become the essential reference on all things having to
do with the Epistle to Diognetus. Scholars working with it or with
texts that may share some intertextual relation with it should take
the time to consult and benefit from Jefford's work.
