Summarized.
*New Testament Abstracts*
In what is perhaps the most exhaustive and painstaking review of
the subdiscipline to date … Hatina is concerned with relevance:
Will the message of the New Testament have any value or relevance
in the twenty-first century not only to people of faith but for
society at large? … This massive survey should be essential reading
for anyone working in New Testament theology. Even if one disagrees
with Hatina’s final resolution of the problem, the treatment of the
primary issues is comprehensive, fair, and incisive.
*Review of Biblical Literature*
Hatina has provided a succinct survey and evaluation of the
discipline. … [This book] offers a way forward that draws on the
best aspects of both past and current scholarship in many fields,
seeks to engage contemporary culture and religious studies in a way
that offers the NT theologian a voice in the public sphere, and
finds its ultimate expression in the Church that is seeking justice
in the world.
*Stone-Campbell Journal*
Hatina is dealing thoughtfully and respectfully with a question of
immense contemporary importance.
