Reviews
This exceptional handbook, edited by Eugen J. Pentiuc, will appeal broadly to Biblical scholars as well as non academics, both Orthodox and non-Orthodox, looking to understand Orthodox Christian (Eastern and Oriental) approaches to reading the Bible...Those interested in encountering Orthodox views on Text, Canon, Scripture within Tradition, and Hermeneutics in a forward looking way will find this handbook a source of considerable guidance and a most worthwhile read. * Sophia Theodoratos, St Andrew's Greek Orthodox Theological College, Phronema *
Whether or not readers are familiar with Orthodox Bible interpretation, this volume is bound to become a go-to treasure chest of jewels on the subject. * Hywel Clifford, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament *
Whether or not readers are familiar with Orthodox Bible interpretation, this volume is bound to become a go-to treasure chest of jewels on the subject. * Hywel Clifford, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament *
This volume reflects a variety of views...this book does not attempt to impose one approach. * Hans Boersma, Church History *
Specialists and nonspecialists alike will find much of interest in this volume, especially those concerned with the creative tension between modern historical-critical methods and reading practices of the past and convinced of the need for a "recontextualization of Tradition." * Religious Studies Review *
The volume strikes an admirable balance between the rigor of specialized studies and the accessibility of a general introduction. * Michael Legaspi, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly *
