Reviews

"The editors are to be commended for having commissioned contributors to write groundwork entries....I was impressed with the overall quality of the entries...The Oxford Encyclopedia of Biblical Interpretation represents a splendid achievement by providing a comprehensive panorama of contemporary biblical interpretation. It shows how works from the previous centuries have initiated trajectories of biblical interpretation that continue
today."--Review of Biblical Literature
"The contributors' annotations of their extensive bibliographies are an invaluable complement to the essays themselves. The roster of editors and contributors is varied and distinguished, and the selection of topics is as eclectic as one might wish. A superb index of 100-plus pages greatly enhances this set's usefulness. This is an extremely ambitious project that has the potential to foster broader and more sophisticated study in the field. Highly
recommended."--CHOICE
"The Oxford Encyclopedia of Biblical Interpretation (OEBI) is an invaluable resource for scholars, and especially those in biblical studies. Steven McKenzie and his editorial team have produced a volume that combines accessibility, clarity, and eruditeness. The contributors include both well-established and emerging scholars from a variety of fields and from different global and cultural vantage points. Each of the essays, organized alphabetically, is
a few thousand words in length and includes a -- many times annotated -- bibliography. The second volume helpfully includes at the end a list of contributors and their essays, an index, and a topical outline of
contents." --FIDES et HUMILITAS
