Recensioner i media

“Cuéllar’s work is incisive, persuasive, and important. … Cuéllar’s task in Empire, the British Museum, and the Making of the Biblical Scholar in the Nineteenth Century is hermeneutically-minded and immanently relevant to the shifting tides of biblical criticism in the twenty-first century.” (Erin J. Beall, Horizons in Biblical Theology, Vol. 44 (1), 2022)
