‘Since the time of the Enlightenment there has been a major split
between hermeneutics and homiletics. This book makes a valiant
effort to bring these two worlds together. It is an effort that is
both timely and sophisticated, done by a gifted scholar.'
*Biblical Studies and Scripture*
"The major concern is that the incredibly dense language and
over-theorizing will make this a work inaccessible to most readers"
Paul Foster, July 2009
