These articles reflect how Dahl taught. Master of 'questions, ' he proposed fresh approaches, expecting others to expand his work. Never content with professional excellence, he settled one issue only to open the door to further questions. He thought new thoughts, such as chapters 6 and 9. These essays illustrate how a first-class mind works. --Jerome H. Neyrey, SJ, University of Notre Dame Nils A. Dahl was one of the great New Testament scholars of the twentieth century. These essays reveal Dahl's main strength as an interpreter of Paul. He reads Paul's texts with a curiosity that leads to new questions and sends readers away with new ideas. He was before his time on many issues; for instance, his studies of Paul in a Jewish context point towards the present discussions of 'the New Paul.' Therefore Dahl's essays continue to inspire and challenge. --Halvor Moxnes, University of Oslo
