Reviews

‘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
*Expository Times*
