In addition to lists of answers by chapter, this book contains some minor errata for Collins' text. Accompanying many answers are helpful explanations and references to concepts in Collins with page numbers.

I had been struggling with Collins' Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin. I completed all the exercises and drills but had no idea if my answers were correct. Dunlap's book removes all doubt and I can progress knowing that I'm headed in the right direction. Now I believe that I am truly learning and it is about time.

We need more books like this one that provide instruction in Ecclesiastical/Medieval Latin. The answer key is a godsend! Wouldn't it be nice to have a textbook on Medieval Latin Composition along the lines of Bradley's Arnold with an answer key? Perhaps a scholar will write one!

for some strange reason, the book Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin came with great study practice questions and no answers! reviews of Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin complained about lack of an answer guide. thank god! i didn't know if i was on the right track

John Dunlap has filled a void Latin students have felt for years: an approved answer key to accompany the standard text of ecclesiastical Latin. It's a terrific little book, especially for those interested in self-study. Dunlap wastes no space and provides crisp answers and responses to Professor Collins' drills.

Anybody who is serious about studying the Collins text should buy this answer key book. While studying the Collins book, I would always check my answers with this key and it proved invaluable how much learning I did from my mistakes. Thanks to the answer key I was able to learn the points which I had overlooked.

I am currently a student in an MA program in theology and although Latin is not a required language to undertake, it may be useful in post-graduate studies or research. John Collins' Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin is an outstanding resource to use in preparation for more formal studies in the language. When used in conjunction with the Answer Key to the primer, prepared by John R. Dunlap, the student has at their disposal all that is required to grasp the basic concepts of Latin grammar and pronunciation. It is also advisable to purchase a good, but inexpensive Latin dictionary. Currently, at least three students at my school of theology are using these resources in preparation for small group tutoring in the Fall semester. If you are willing to devote an hour a day to these volumes, you will be much better prepared for formal study in Latin. I would also recommend these two books as textbooks for undergraduate Latin instruction.Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin

This answer key is a wonderful companion to the Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin Text. It is great for self study as it gives the student a feeling of accomplishment knowing immediately that he or she is translating appropriately. The answer key is easy to use and is VERY COMPLETE. It is rare indeed to find a complete answer key, even to the simple exercises. With this supplement, home study of Ecclesiastical Latin becomes fun and easy!! Great Book!!!

Good to have for Eccl Latin as opposed to Classical Latin. Anyone who is interested in learning what Church Fathers have written, this is essential. Languages capture the essences of what the original writer writes. This is the best to offer short of taking a class.

Book was exactly wahat was advertised and expected. It is very helpful. Purchase process was fast and easy. Price was good.
