In this volume Henry G. Meecham provides a critical edition of the Greek text of the Epistle to Diognetus, accompanied by a translation, notes, and introductory material. The original publication has been lightly revised for a contemporary audience.
Henry Meecham’s distinguished volume is a perfect fit for a series entitled Classic Studies on the Apostolic Fathers. Updated with regard to introductory matters, but never replaced as a commentary on this most interesting second-century document, Meecham’s sensitive and detailed examination of the Greek text, drawing as it does on his wide reading of the classics, the Greek Bible, and early Christian writings, remains a must-read for the study of Diognetus.

I highly recommend this revised republication of Henry Meecham’s classic study on the Epistle to Diognetus. For years Meecham’s commentary stood as an essential guide for English-speaking research, yet in time it became difficult to find. With this fresh edition there now is no excuse for patristic scholars not to have a copy in their own libraries. Read and enjoy!
