Hunter's wide variety of Christian texts on marriage and sexuality span the New Testament era through the sixth century and include both Greek and Latin writers:Hermas - Shepherd, Mandate 4Tertullian... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I read this book as a part of a small group study on marriage in the early church (surprise!). It was a good introduction to some of the history of the early church, and the primary sources seemed to show a good variety of thought as well as being good examples of the current issues the Church was dealing with at the time. It's not a history book, so don't be decieved. It's largely primary texts with a good introduction in the beginning. It would be a good adjunct to a larger study of Christian marriage and/or Church history.
