Abraham Smith is Professor of New Testament at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, Texas, USA.
[A] very worthwhile contribution ... This volume would form an
excellent basis for a set of Bible study group sessions.
*The Catholic Herald*
Smith's book is rich in wel-informed Christological insight and
speculation ... Those who are keen to bring their existing literary
and theological grip of the bluntest and most vivid canonical
gospel back to the boil in time for Year B are likely to see their
engagement with Smith's ideas as a useful exercise.
