About this book
William L. (“Bill”) Petersen (1950-2006) was a prominent Diatessaron scholar and New Testament textual critic. This collection brings together thirty-two of his essays, enabling an overview of his impressive and wide-ranging scholarship on Romanos the Melodist, Tatian and his Diatessaron, Patristic studies, and New Testament textual criticism. It will be of value for all those interested in the state and method of these fields of study, on which it offers engaging and sometimes provocative perspectives.

Reviews
"..having these essays bound together allows one to see the full spectrum of Petersen's research interests and to be informed by the linkages that he himself recognised between various fields of study. The editors are to be highly commended for their outstanding job in providing readers with such an important collection of studies." – Paul Foster, in: The Expository Times 124/5 (February 2013)
"...Petersen published in a range of outlets even more varied than his interests, and it is indeed convenient to have this remarkable set of essays gathered in one volume, which is a "must have" for all research libraries." – Michael Holmes, in: Religious Studies Review 36 (December 2012)
