Of the volumes of New Documents reviewers have said:

  • Umso dankbarer dürfen wir sein, daß junge australische Philologen mit New Documents Illustrating Early Christianity die Aufgabe unternommen haben, dieses riesige, unüberschaubare Material für die Erforschung des frühen Christentums fruchtbar zu machen. (M. Hengel, New Testament Studies)
  • Must reading for New Testament scholars. (James H. Charlesworth, Religious Studies Review)
  • The utility of the series is beyond question, and for the vast majority of scholars it will be indispensable. (J. P. Murphy-O'Connor, Revue Biblique)
  • ... bietet höchst anregenden Diskussionsstoff für alle, die philologisch oder historisch an den Texten und der Geschichte des frühen Christentums und seinen Wurzeln arbeiten.     (W. Wischmeyer, Gnomon)
