Reviews

an important, valuable contribution to its subject
*Eric Ziolkowski, Relegere: Studies in Religion and Reception*

a rich collection of different and often very valuable materials on the reception history of the Bible. Among the articles some are real treasures
*Ulrich Luz, Journal of Theological Studies*

This volume is most certainly timely and highly pertinent to recent developments within biblical studies ... a welcome addition
*R. I. Kueh, Journal of Ecclesiastical History*
