This collection thoroughly lives up to the billing of its subtitle. Its essays span the spectrum from sober scholarly argumentation for utterly unorthodox positions to deliciously outrageous spoof on scholarship itself, and rarely fail to satisfy.—Stephen D. Moore, Professor of New Testament and Chair of the Graduate Division of Religion, Drew University (Stephen D. Moore)
We know that anti-Jewish, patriarchal, colonialist and other oppressive interpretations of the Gospels are rooted in a failure to acknowledge that they are framed by our ideological presuppositions. Thus, we dutifully acknowledge the theoretical possibility that our interpretations are marked by our insider presuppositions. But in practice, unable to imagine alternative readings, we continue to view our interpretations, present them, teach them as if they were presupposition free. This is why we urgently need the iconoclasm of Those Outside: Noncanonical Readings of Canonical Gospels. By outrageously showing the plausibility of interpretations that go against the grain of traditional ideological presuppositions, these highly accessible essays free us and our students to articulate our presuppositions and to assess them. Daniel Patte, Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, Vanderbilt University (Daniel Patte)
George Aichele and Richard Walsh ought to be congratulated for bringing together such a fascinating array of pieces in this collection. It breaks out of the canonical confines and indeed much of biblical studies itself. A tour de force! —Roland Boer, Senior Logan Research Fellow, Centre for Studies in Religion and Theology, Monash University, Australia. (Roland Boer)
