Media Reviews
The three introductory essays they provide are approachable, authoritative and full of meat. The selections from scripture are annotated freshly and stirringly; the commentaries which introduce the literary extracts are models of compression, expanding at a later stage in the mind of the reader, as good teaching should Julian Thompson, Tutor in English, RPC Oxford Each biblical passage is carefully introduced, and there is a bibliography for each section. An excellent book! International Review of Biblical Studies A welcome addition to our resources at a time when there is an increasing emphasis on literary reading and narrative theology.
