Review

"Harols Remus (Wilifrid Laurier University) has written a very fine little book for Christian laity studying Scripture in an adult Sunday-school setting. ...those charged with leading discussion groups about the New Testament will find it very useful." Stevan Davies, Studies in Religion

"This would make an excellent textbook on the undergraduate or divinity school level...also...accessible to the general public, and the study questions at the end would work well adult study groups." Dale C. Allison, Jr., Religious Studies Review
