A feast... This impressive and prestigious book continues that fine spiritual and academic tradition of faith seeking understanding in a world of many beliefs... Barker and Gregg have produced a remarkable book * Martyn Percy, Church Times * The editors are to be congratulated on producing an exemplary book. The texts are judiciously selected, with a wide range of perspectives from each of the four traditions represented. The supporting material is also excellent: the essays are concise, informative and insightful, and the questions for reflection and suggestions for further reading make the book very useful for classroom/lecture hall use. * Jonathan Kearney, Journal for the Study of The New Testament *
