Adolf von Harnack (1851-1930) was a world-renowned professor of church history at the Universities of Leipzig, Giessen, Marburg, and Berlin. His works History of Dogma (1895-1900), What Is Christianity? (1901), and New Testament Studies (1908-12) have left their mark on studies of both church history and the New Testament.Jacob N. Cerone is a doctoral candidate at the University of Erlangen-Nuremburg. He is the editor of Jörg Frey's Qumran, Early Judaism, and New Testament Interpretation (2019) and the ApostolicFathers Greek Reader: The Complete Edition (2019) and is a coeditor of The Pericope of the Adulteress in Contemporary Research (2016).

Many of Harnack's analyses and insights into 1 Clement retain their value in today's marketplace of historical inquiry. Cerone's adept translation has done a great service to Anglophone scholarship, by converting this wealth into usable currency. Critical readers will discover a worthy return on investment.
