G. Hall); a series of main papers providing commentary on its passages (Th. Bohm, M. Ludlow, Ch. Apostolopoulos, A. Meredith, J. Zachhuber, L. Karfikova, J. S. O'Leary, V. H. Drecoll); and numerous short essays discussing related philosophical (E. Moutsopoulos, G. Arabatzis, J. Demetracopoulos, L. Chvatal, Th. Alexopoulos, G. Lekkas, T. Tollefsen), as well as theological (T. Dolidze, S. Douglass, A. Ojell, A.-G. Keidel, T. Aptsiauri, J. Rexer) issues.
