Reviews
I tell my students to read everything by my friend Richard Hays because he is arguably the most significant American New Testament scholar of the last half-century. But Richard's importance lies not only in his own writings, but also in his influence on so many others, starting with his students. This fine collection of essays (including points of disagreement among the contributors and with Richard) is a fitting tribute to the authors' teacher, colleague, and friend as well as a contribution to the field of NT studies--Michael J. Gorman, St. Mary's Seminary & University In this enriching set of essays, written in tribute to Richard Hays, eleven of his former students discuss key elements of the Christology and ethics of the New Testament. That this conversation with Hays includes, in some cases, profound but respectful disagreement is a reflection of his legacy, continued here: a rigorous but open-minded commitment to understand the text in all its strangeness, combined with generous-spirited dialogue concerning its significance for church and world today.--John M.G. Barclay, Durham University Probing, provocative, pastoral--this stellar collection of essays truly honors Richard Hays's scholarly service to the study of the New Testament, and to the church formed by scripture. Pastors and scholars alike will want this on their bookshelves.--Susan Grove Eastman, Duke Divinity School This collection of essays reveals the legacy of a good teacher. Echoes of Hays's work are found throughout: the contributors aim to ground their exegesis in the OT Scriptures, draw out the implications of an ecclesiocentric hermeneutic for reading Scripture, or think again about problems of ethics and formation, all in charitable interaction with the work of various scholars, including Hays himself and one another. This is the kind of collection in which any mentor may take pride, for while recognizing his fingerprints on these pieces, he may surely also appreciate the creative and thoughtful directions these scholars have charted.--Marianne Meye Thompson, Fuller Theological Seminary
