Reviews

This is a rich and engaging volume, one of impressive erudition and sound scholarship. It demonstrates a deep understanding of the history that it seeks to unravel and document. I especially appreciate the attention given to primary sources in their original languages (usually accompanied by English translation) and the balanced and fair-minded handling of controversial issues. - Richard A. Taylor, in DTS (Dallas Theological Seminary) Voice, 2017 This book contains ten stand-alone chapters which discuss various issues within early Jewish Exegesis. (...) The arguments are straightforward and have a clear conclusion at the end of each chapter. The Appendix 'And What Now?' gives a strong analysis of how disagreeing factions can reconcile ideas for a more peaceful future and presents a persuasive argument for peaceful coexistence between Jews and Christians in the modern world. - Jacob Greenhouse, in Society for Old Testament Study Book List 2019
