‘An exciting new series that will provide orientation and essential information for students at the beginning of a course, in an attractive and readable formatFrom here the student will be well placed to move on to classic texts and larger handbooks.’ * John Barton, Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture, University of Oxford *
Thiselton’s genius lies in his extraordinary capacity to help us see familiar issues afresh and deepen our sense of truth. Thiselton’s method. . . is to guide the student or reader, giving him or her new vistas, insights and nourishment for the intellectual journey ahead. * Church Times *
It is ideal not only as an introductory guide for students but as a stimulating survey of the subject that should appeal to any interested, intelligent reader * Church of England Newspaper *
