It is unusual to find a collection of essays that cohere so well. The editors have produced a volume that manages to be both a fitting tribute to Professor Joseph T. Lienhard, S.J., and a valuable contribution to our understanding of the development of Tradition and the Rule of Faith. The book is divided into four sections. The first section includes a loosely grouped series of essays that examine how Tradition and the Rule intersected in the early church. One highlight is an interesting essay by Jonathan J. Armstrong on how the Rule shaped the development of the New Testament canon. Part Two turns to the role of the Rule and Tradition in the Arian Controversy. This subject is very close to much of Fr. Lienhard's work, and all three essays are first rate. The essays in the third section consider Augustine's use of Tradition and the Rule. Included here is a piece by the late Thomas F. Martin, O.S.A. The final section turns to the reception of the Church Fathers in the Christian Tradition. The essays in this section cover a great deal of ground, ranging from early Christian Ireland to the modern period. Anyone interested in the question of Tradition or familiar with Fr. Lienhard's work will benefit from this volume.
