Rezensionen

Review of the hardback: 'This monograph is a fine example of a rare commodity in contemporary New Testament scholarship - a serious and sustained theological engagement with a biblical text ... exhilarating and invigorating ... this is a thought-provoking and potentially important book. I hope that it will stimulate debate, and help to make space for more theologically-committed exegesis within the guild of Anglophone New Testament studies ...' Expository Times
