Description
Reviews
Brevard S. Childs -- Yale University "The republication of some of Patrick Miller's very best articles is very welcome indeed. His reflections on the Old Testament Commandments are carefully balanced with his well-known interest in the Psalms. His final section on Old Testament theology, although more controversial, shows his sustained wrestling with the application of Scripture by the church in today's world." Ellen Davis -- Duke University "One of the very finest of contemporary exegetes, Miller writes on topics and texts of clear relevance to the church and our public life. Pastors, preachers, biblical scholars, and theologians will all be instructed by the wisdom and humility with which he approaches the most pressing and difficult questions of biblical interpretation." Robin Gallaher Branch -- in Review of Biblical Literature "Miller's work -- always outstanding, always reasoned, always well written -- leaves a reader grateful for the chance to be walked through the richness of topics in the biblical text by one who has so profoundly shaped biblical scholarship for decades."
