That volume was published by the Clarendon Press in 1905, and it is to acknowledge the importance of that famous book that these companion volumes are published in its centenary year. The 1905 volume was very much a product of Oxford, albeit by a number of scholars who may have beenonthefringesofuniversitylife(asJohnMuddimanexplains,inTrajec- tories through the New Testament and the Apostolic Fathers, p. 107); Kirsopp LakeislistedamongthecontributorsasProfessorofNewTestamentExegesis in the University of Leiden, but he was curate of the University Church of StMary theVirgininOxforduntilhisappointmenttothatchairin1904. Oxford connections remain important in these centenary volumes. Both editors are members of the Oxford Theology Faculty, and these papers representtheWrst-fruitsofanongoingresearchprojectontheNewTestament andthesecondcenturythatissupportedbytheTheologyFaculty.Yetthereis also a strong international dimension to the research presented in these volumes, for the contributors are drawn from Belgium, Germany, Canada, the USA, and South Africa, as well as from Oxford and elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Many of the papers were presented and discussed at a conference held at Lincoln College, Oxford, in April 2004; others were writtensolelyforpublication.Butthiscollectionisbynomeansjustanother ConferenceProceedings;allthecontributionsprintedherehavebeenthrough theprocessofpeerreview thatiscustomary inacademicpublishing.

Both editors are glad to thank various people for their help in producing these volumes. We are grateful to Hilary O’Shea, who brought the proposal before the Delegates of Oxford University Press, and to Lucy Qureshi, who saw the volumes through from their acceptance by the Press until their publication. Dorothy McCarthy, Enid Barker, Amanda Greenley, Samantha Griffiths, and Jean van Altena each helped us to keep to a tight production scheduleandgavevaluableadviceonmanypointsofdetail.Particularthanks areduetotheanonymousreaderwhoreadalargetypescriptwithgreatspeed andequalcare,andoVeredanumberofhelpfulandincisivesuggestions. OUP provided Wnancial support for our conference, as did the British Academy, the Zilkha Fund of Lincoln College, Oxford, and the Theology Faculty of Oxford University.

Most importantly, both editors were overwhelmed by the support and interest shown by such a range of international experts in the study of the New Testament and early Christianity, and we are grateful to all who have allowedustoincludetheirworkinthispublication.Wehopethatthatthese volumeswillbecomeastandardreferenceworkformanyyearstocome,and that they will provide a useful resource for future researchers in New Testa- mentandPatristics.
