Recensioner i media

?John Riches' contribution to this excellent series is a well-focused, rich collection of work from key writers on Galatians from Marcion to the present day.? (Journal for the Study of the New Testament , September 2009) "An invaluable treasure trove of carefully selected interpretations, but more important is the overall picture that it paints of the extensive dialogue about Galatians, and the questions the book raises about the relationship between the text and its readers." (Ecclesiastical History, April 2009)"Riches provides an in-depth, clear, and interesting study of Galatians by highlighting debated issues within the letter. Those studying Galatians would find this commentary well worth their study." (European Journal of Theology, April 2009)?This book is such a useful and admirable work of scholarship that I hesitate to find any fault with it.? (Catholic Biblical Quarterly, Spring 2009)"One can only be grateful for the wealth of material assembled here. All theological libraries must have not only this attractive volume, but all the other volumes published in this series." (International Review of Biblical Studies, 2007-2008)"[The book] looks at sacred texts and how they have been interpreted over time." (Church Times, October 2008)
