Editorial Reviews

"A most learned, well-written, and provoking book, with some surprises for all."—Expository Times

"Very appealing. Louth is a superb scholar who should be a standard participant in the current 'conflict of interpretations.'"—Theological Studies

"A provocative essay which raises crucial questions about the nature of contemporary theology."—Journal of the American Academy of Religion
