Review Quotes:
"The breadth and depth of David Lyle Jeffrey's work and its consistent engagement with scripture recall that of Erich Auerbach. These essays not only acknowledge and clarify Jeffrey's achievement but also extend it in their attention to literary, philosophical, and religious works of the West. Given Jeffrey's trailblazing work, it is especially fitting that the final essays turn to Africa and China. In this way, this excellent volume illumines both past and future. Highly relevant, warmly recommended." --Paul J. Contino, Blanche E. Seaver Professor of Humanities, Pepperdine University
