Reviews
'So many essays of quality, sometimes very detailed, were submitted, that it proved necessary to divide the Festschrift...a...meaningful contribution to the exegetical and religious ideas of its time.'~ Martin McNamara, Heythrop Journal, Vol 46, No. 2 (April 2005) -- Martin McNamara * Heythrop Journal *
