Reviews

This is a very important work...one of those increasing rarities in the discipline: a book which everybody should read. S. D. Weeks, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament This is an important book both for biblical scholars and for cultural historians...and it deserves a wide readership and careful discussion. Teresa Morgan, The Journal of Theological Studies
