Argues from a wide range of evidence that the Gospels were not written each for a specific church or community, but were intended for general circulation throughout all the early churches.
'This is a fascinating and provocative book. When it was first published reviewer John Goldingay hailed it as "a bombshell in the playground of New Testament study." I.H Marshall claimed that it "could seriously alter the character of contemporary Gospel study for the better." These are far reaching claims that fill the reader with expectation. These expectations are further fuelled by the fact that with Richard Bauckham and the other contributors to this volume we have biblical scholarship at its British best.' ~ Vox Reformata, No. 71, 2006
