Independent intensities, 0–5 — what the work is made of, not how good it is.

A history of the church in the New Testament period, published in London by Duckworth in 1955 in its Studies in Theology series, the series in which Caird's Language and Imagery of the Bible also appeared in 1980. It runs to some 220 pages with a bibliography, and was reprinted by Duckworth into the 1970s. Caird wrote it while Professor of New Testament at McGill University, Montreal, a year before his Chancellor's Lectures were published as Principalities and Powers. No copy was examined for this record, so its chapters and particular arguments are not described here.
