Synopsis

Time and again, this book delights the reader as it points out nuances of wording and presentation that are so often the clues to the gospel writer's mind and to his response to the figure of Jesus Contact "Popularizing, in the best sense, is an art which too few biblical scholars practise, and even fewer do well. Richard Burridge is one of the favoured few" Theology "Fresh, exciting, challenging and mind-stretching" Christian Herald
