Anne-Mareike Wetter, translation from the Nederlands Theologisch Tijdschrift '… this book is without peer in what it sets out to do, and it should succeed admirably in introducing a wide readership to a field where it is often difficult to find reliable and up-to-date information in a digestible format.'
