""The Dictionary of the Later New Testament & Its Developments is a welcome—and much-needed--companion to the DJG and DPL. Written by a broad range of contributors, it covers a wide range of topics, not only on the rest of the New Testament but also on the early second-century church. The articles are of consistently high quality, with superb bibliographies that should cause them to be the first place one turns for most of the topics covered in this excellent volume."

—Gordon D. Fee, Professor Emeritus, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada

"The coverage of this Dictionary embraces not only the remaining books of the New Testament but also includes the apostolic fathers and other related topics. The volume will thus provide assistance to pastors and students alike in understanding the broader historical context of early Christianity and its literature. Both IVP and the editors of the volume are to be congratulated on producing such a helpful dictionary."

—Bruce M. Metzger(1914-2007), author, Apostolic Letters of Faith, Hope, and Love: Galatians, 1 Peter, and 1 John
