Reviews

Taken as a whole, this book demonstrates Scripture's usefulness in a variety of ways: useful for honing one's interpretative, critical skills (Knapp, Koenig, Castelo, Lemcio, Painter), useful for enabling an ecumenical reading that values and honors other faith traditions (Spina), useful for redeeming a christological focus in the entire Scripture (Smythe), useful in forming disciples and for spiritual, ethical practice (Robinson, Levison, Holmes, Fowl). The book also helps one to appreciate the nature of Scripture as having many voices, requiring hermeneutical acuity. It will offer the reader profit with delight. -Derek Tovey, Review of Biblical Literature All in all this is a collection of theologically rich, exegetically sensitive, and interpretatively wise essays. It is a suitable tribute to a scholar whose work has developed in all those ways over many years. I commend it to readers who would like to see good examples of a canonical approach in practice, both on a conceptual level and in the handling of specific texts. -Richard S. Briggs, Society of Biblical Literature An eclectic compilation of interpretive biblical scholarship in recognition of the outstanding career in both church and academy of Robert W. Wall. -Ewen Butler, Brill
