Jeremiah Coogan is Assistant Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University.Candida R. Moss is Edward Cadbury Professor of Theology at the University of Birmingham.Joseph A. Howley is Associate Professor of Classics at Columbia University.

What Drs Coogan, Moss, and Howley have put together in this volume is truly exceptional. Writing, Enslavement, and Power was a pleasure to read. As an edited volume it was brilliantly conceived and brilliantly executed (which is a testament to the editors, to the contributors, and to everyone else involved in its production). It is sure to be a work that continues to prompt scholarly discussions and breakthroughs in the study of ancient enslavement, of ancient book work and book production, and (I hope) more broadly in the study of the New Testament, of Early Christianity, and beyond.
