From reviews of the first edition
Religious Studies Review
"Highly recommended for supplementary reading in NT classes. Its general accuracy, moderation, freedom from bias, and concision are welcome."
Interpretation
"Beautifully written and edited, deceptively sophisticated, and uncommonly rich in insights into biblical interpretation."
