	By Jean Daniélou:
	The Development of Christian Doctrine Before the Council of Nicaea: Volume One, The Theology of Jewish Christianity. Translated and edited by John A. Baker (London and Chicago, 1964). Jean Cardinal Daniélou, S.J. (1905-1974) was a brilliant French Roman Catholic scholar, elevated to Cardinal in 1969. Students of the works of Margaret Barker and Hugh Nibley will discern pearls of great price in his commentaries. Since Greek terms in this text are not transliterated into the familiar Latin alphabet, readers unfamiliar with Greek should download a Greek alphabet from the web for their reference until they acquire some fluency at recognition and pronunciation. I highly recommend this book. Out of print. Try an inter-library loan or check these sources for used copies: bookfinder.com     abebooks.com     alibris.com
