Reviews
Review of the hardback: 'This monograph is a fine example of a rare commodity in contemporary New Testament scholarship - a serious and sustained theological engagement with a biblical text ... exhilarating and invigorating ... this is a thought-provoking and potentially important book. I hope that it will stimulate debate, and help to make space for more theologically-committed exegesis within the guild of Anglophone New Testament studies ...' Expository Times
Review of the hardback: 'Paddison is to be commended for his calling on Pauline/biblical scholars back to the subject matter of the text, namely, God's revelation in the person and work of Jesus Christ.' Themelios
Review of the hardback: 'In its demonstration of how theologically fruitful canonical connections can emerge in the interpretive process, [this book] would also bring a breath of fresh air to pastors whose homiletical imaginations have been deadened by the inflated claims of some forms of historical criticism. To sum up, I highly recommend this book and look forward to Paddison's future contributions to theological exegesis.' Andy Johnson, Interpretation
