    • 1990, Thomas C. Oden, Then and Now: The Recovery of Patristic Wisdom:
      Paleoorthodoxy understands itself to be postlib, postmodern, postfundy, postneoanything, since the further one "progresses" from ancient apostolic testimony the more hopeless the human condition becomes.
    • 2014, In Quest of a Vital Protestant Center, →ISBN, page 113:
      Dorrien also notes that, despite his critique of “paleoorthodoxy,” Bloesch belongs “to a group of 'Great tradition' evangelicals who are clearly more interested in pursuing dialogue with conservative Catholic and orthodox theologians than with progressive evangelicals."
    • 2016, TF Torrance, The Trinitarian faith: The evangelical theology of the ancient Catholic Church:
      Evangelical figures and groups who 'converted' to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy, in search of a return to the sources and to some 'Golden Era' of church history – here he specifically mentions Thomas Howard and Peter Gilquist, or those who uncritically and thus unhelpfully appropriated aspects of patristic theology, such as the Emerging Church and paleoorthodoxy.
