This book belongs in all theological studies libraries. It would be well-suited for upperlevel college or graduate-level classrooms where a professor wishes to expose students to a range of issues, methods, and styles encountered in contemporary New Testament studies, especially of the Gospels. The essays are all of excellent quality, and as befits a tribute to John Nolland, the book as a whole manages not only to inform and instruct but also to edify.
