Nigel Scotland on Signs and Wonders in the Early Church

ByRob Bradshaw
The following article is now on-line in PDF:

Nigel Scotland, “Signs and Wonders in the Early Catholic Church 90-451 and their Implications for the Twenty-First Century,” European Journal of Theology 10.2 (2001): 155-168.

Those wanting to read further on this subject should look out for the following title when it appears:
