Reviews
J. Ramsey Michaels "For those who look only to the United States and Germany for biblical scholarship, this collection of essays on the Gospels is an eye-opener. Six of its eight contributors are from Canada, one from the United Kingdom, and one from Korea. They address issues ranging from traditional subjects such as the Synoptic problem and the historical Jesus to more recent topics of interest, including the Gospels as oral performance, reading from a global (in this case, Korean) perspective, and canonical criticism. These eight writers each bring a measure of common sense to a field sometimes plagued by technical jargon and faddism. Their no-nonsense approach should make this book a valuable supplementary text for beginning or advanced students of the Gospels in colleges and seminaries."
