"One of the most ambitious writing projects ever undertaken by one person Old has much to teach us." — Sewanee Theological Review
"There is no doubt that every serious preacher, theologian and Christian thinker will have to buy and ponder these important volumes. Dr. Old has done the church an enormous service in bringing this aspect of our heritage back into the prominence which it deserves, and it can only be hoped that his message will be widely heard and heeded in the days ahead." — Churchman
"A scholarly resource one will often turn to and spend much time on." — Internationale Zeitschriftenschau für Bibelwissenschaft und Grenzgebiete (IZBG)
"This book's strength lies in its potential as a reference, a foundational source for studying patristic homiletics…. Old has given veterans and neophytes alike a valuable survey of patristic preaching in what promises to be a monumental series…. It will be long before this magisterial survey will be surpassed." — Journal of Early Christian Studies
