Reviews

Fine hat sein Versprechen, to project flesh and blood into three-dimensional spaces nicht nur fur die lost world in which those people thrived eingelost, sondern auch fur den modernen wissenschaflichen Diskurs, den er selbst mit der vorliegenden Aufsatzsammlung [...] mit grossem Erfolg befordert hat. - Jurgen Zangenberg, Leiden, in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 140 (2015)
