| Summary: | A title such as this raises certain obvious expectations. The book, regrettably, meets none of them. The eight articles show no evidence of having been selected in obedience to a well-thought-out plan to cover all aspects of the subject. In fact, the extraordinary degree of overlap between the various studies strongly suggests the complete absence of any organizational principle. No new and convincing solutions are provided for long-standing problems which, despite the intended audience, are tediousy spelt out. Certain contributors are given the opportunity to trot out their hobby horses once again, even though it has long been evident that they cannot run., James W. Aageson and Robert W. Wall focus on the Pastoral Epistles. |
