"The main strength of Selvén's work is that it shows how much the liturgy, which involves the worshippers in both speech and act, influences biblical interpretation. . . . [He] has written an important work upon which future scholars of the Bible and liturgy can further build." —Reading Religion"Liturgy and Biblical Interpretation is a groundbreaking contribution to the under-developed field of the scholarly study of liturgical engagements with biblical texts." —Journal of the American Academy of Religion"It is astounding how well-versed Sebastian Selvén is in both Jewish and Christian liturgy. While I was reading about the former, I was being taught new facts and theology about Jewish ritual; while I was reading about the latter, I could have closed my eyes and believed it was being written by a Christian liturgical scholar." —David W.
