‘A series of interesting and insightful essays...It represents a major landmark in British Roman Catholic biblical scholarship...this book will inevitably find its way into all major theological libraries. However, smaller libraries and individual readers may also wish to purchase the volume, given the quantity and quality of its scholarship. In particular, this book is highly recommended to anyone engaged in the perilous but rewarding take of translating the bible...Furthermore, because of the sheer eclecticism of this volume, it has the merit of providing a very wide and fulsome snapshot of contemporary concerns and issues in biblical studies today. On the whole...this volume makes a fitting tribute to Fr Henry and is a credit to its contributors and editor (Philip McCosker). As one has come to expect from the Library of New Testament studies, the work is beautifully presented and bound...With such a variety of material and such an impressive array of contributors, there will be something in this volume for every student and reader of Scripture.' Guy Williams, Scripture Bulletin
