J. Ramsey Michaels
"For those who look only to the United States and Germany for
biblical scholarship, this collection of essays on the Gospels is
an eye-opener. Six of its eight contributors are from Canada, one
from the United Kingdom, and one from Korea. They address issues
ranging from traditional subjects such as the Synoptic problem and
the historical Jesus to more recent topics of interest, including
the Gospels as oral performance, reading from a global (in this
case, Korean) perspective, and canonical criticism. These eight
writers each bring a measure of common sense to a field sometimes
plagued by technical jargon and faddism. Their no-nonsense approach
should make this book a valuable supplementary text for beginning
or advanced students of the Gospels in colleges and seminaries."
