My first monograph, The Shepherd of Hermas as Scriptura Non Grata: From Popularity in Early Christianity to Exclusion from the New Testament Canon, has recently been published by Lexington Books, an imprint of Rowman & Littlefield. Click the cover art for a larger image, or the title for more information from the publisher, where you can purchase it or recommend it to your library. The book can also be found on Amazon or, presumably, wherever quality books are sold.
