Overview The early church leaders were prolific in their writing and historical documentation. While some of this work has been canonized, much has been forgotten. The Text and Studies: Contributions to Biblical and Patristic Literature collection resurrects these documents in a renewed and focused study, attempting to glean the wisdom and insight of the ancients. These volumes dig deep into apocryphal literature with critical analyses, close readings, and examinations of the original manuscripts.
This collection of essays on biblical and patristic literature spans a range of topics, from biblical exegesis to early Christian theology. It offers both a scholarly exploration of important texts and an accessible overview of the literature for interested readers.
The biography explores the life and contributions of Gilbert Crispin, an influential early abbot of Westminster. It features not only a detailed account of his life but also includes the texts of his writings and charters, providing valuable insights into his role and impact in the early medieval church and monastic community.

This book consists of three lectures delivered by noted biblical scholar J. Armitage Robinson at Westminster Abbey on the theme of incarnation. Robinson chose to publish the lectures in response to a push by some quarters of the Anglican Communion to have the bishops declare the virgin birth a cardinal doctrine of the Christian faith. In an opening letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Robinson appeals that the door of inquiry not be closed by the hand of authority. In light of these concerns regarding the doctrine of the virgin birth, he sets to investigate four elements. First, what do we mean by the incarnation; secondly, what led up to the incarnation and made it possible; thirdly, how as a matter of historical fact it was realized on the stage of the world; and lastly, what are its chief lessons and most important issues.
