Reviews
'This book ... repays careful reading page after page. It showcases the author's substantial learning which spans multiple Ancient Near Eastern cultures as well as broad scholarship on both biblical Testaments ... Baker has sufficiently demonstrated, with considerable detail and erudition, that significant light may be shed on the New Testament writings through looking eastward from Jerusalem, and not merely to the West.'
