"This book is alive and exciting. While reading it, I was aware of the impact that it would have made on my preaching and teaching had it been a text studied in the seminary." — P. MacCarthy, Homiletic and Pastoral Review

"In controversial issues it chooses, as a rule, the most solid and enlightening views." — L. Renwart, Nouvelle Revue Théologique

"For the reader who is overwhelmed by the plurality of methods, philosophical presuppositions, and critical hermeneutical perspectives that characterize contemporary theology, the kind of synthesis this book achieves is profoundly encouraging." — Sara Butler, Mundelein Seminary
