Filled with insightful overviews of important literature and introducing important perspectives from which to understand the significance of the texts, this ‘critical companion,’ together with other more classical introductions, will surely motivate, encourage and enable serious study in the future.”—Donn Morgan, Theology Journal
“A compelling analysis of the document that embraces all phases of biblical scholarship, from every conceivable point of view.”—John Mulryan, Cithara
