Review Quotes:
"[These] essays not only honor Adele Reinhartz's legacy but also extend her influence into new domains of inquiry. Her commitment to critical intertextuality, ethical reading, and interdisciplinary engagement is evident throughout ... [This book] testifies to the enduring value of scholarship that is both critically rigorous and intellectually generous." --Horizons in Biblical Theology
"Reinhartz, like the contributors to this volume, did not gloss over problematic elements of John's Gospel, including the anti-Jewish elements (as Reinhartz explored in her Cast Out of the Covenant). Both her work and this welcome Festschrift mean we are all better off as a result." --Review of Biblical Literature
