This is a valuable sourcebook that makes available in English a representative and comprehensive collection of texts on the associations in the Greco-Roman world.
~Everett Ferguson, Distinguished Scholar in Residence, Abilene Christian University
Indispensable. A splendid resource for students at several levels, not merely in religious studies, but for anyone exploring the society and culture of the Hellenistic and Roman worlds.
~Wayne A. Meeks (1932–2023), Woolsey Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies, Yale University
This book provides an illuminating collection of a wide range of sources, bringing together, perhaps for the first time, epigraphic evidence about associations in the Greco-Roman world. I look forward to using it.
~Ilias Arnaoutoglou, Director of Research, Research Centre for the History of Greek Law, Academy of Athens
This collection is quite extensive and contains considerably more than most New Testament scholars are aware of. A very welcome resource from a powerhouse of research.
~Abraham Malherbe (1930–2012), Buckingham Professor Emeritus of New Testament Criticism and Interpretation, Yale Divinity School
This book...will quickly become the most authoritative source for Greco-Roman associations in the English language.
~Brice C. Jones, University of Louisiana at Monroe
This is a book that will open doors into further work and stimulate reflection and engagement with the social settings of earliest Christianity.
~Steve Walton, Review of Biblical Literature
...the volume is far more than merely informative, and it offers a rich and reliable basis for comparative work across disciplines.
~Michael W. Holmes, Religious Studies Review
All engaged in research on the Greco-Roman world will find this collection valuable.
~Richard I. Pervo, Review of Biblical Literature
