Reviews
The uniqueness of this commentary series is that it is the 'first to be devoted primarily to the reception history of the Bible' and it is done in a clearly outlined, user friendly, verse-by-verse commentary format ... This quick, illuminating display of the 'genealogy' of interpretations is a unique achievement ... useful to any reader interested in biblical interpretation. ( Reviews in Religion & Theology , 4 September 2013) It provides a fascinating journey of discovery and can be read, unlike most other commentaries, from cover to cover. ( Relegere: Studies in Religion and Reception , 1 May 2013)
