"Une ample bibliographie et différents index terminent cet ouvrage qu'on ne peut que recommander." (D. Attinger, Proche-Orient Chrétien)
"La tesis de Jakab ha iluminado un espacio tradicionalmente oscuro en la investigación sobre los orígenes cristianos. Se trata de una tesis que ha sabido dar cuenta del método, necesariamente complejo, y de la lectura atenta de heterogéneos documentos, con conclusiones altamente razonables." (José Pablo Martín, Circe)
".... 'Ecclesia alexandrina' is a useful account of the shape and character of the early Christian community, replete with insight as to its social makeup." (Joel Kalvesmaki, St Vladimir's Theological Quarterly)
"It is commendable that J. has undertaken the difficult task of putting the history of the early Christian communities more firmly on the map and approaching the old questions from new perspectives by focussing on the evolution of social and institutional matters. He deserves congratulation for his timely efforts." (Annewies van den Hoek, Adamantius)
"This book is a very valuable contribution to the study of early Alexandrian Christianity, and it is to be hoped that someone will soon translate it into English." (Birger A. Pearson, Catholic Historical Review)
