Review:
No one could read this without learning something fresh about almost every verse of the Synoptics, and being provoked into new wrestling with the text. Source: Rowan Williams, Church Times
No New Testament scholar since Bultmann has even attempted – let alone achieved – such an innovative and comprehensive account of New Testament history and theology. Source: Richard B. Hays
