Reviews

[B. Lee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Comprehensive, if unexciting and dated. I’ve not seen a replacement for it.

Does a decent job of describing the New Testament's literary environment, although sometimes he discusses certain literary trends that are only tangentially related to the New Testament itself.
