Review Quotes: "There is no doubt that Old Testament studies is now in a state of profound flux, concerning method and interpretive angle. None has contributed more to the current shape of questions in the discipline than has Rolf Knierim. This volume attests to his decisive influence, in that the essays are offered with reference to his work, mostly by his students and colleagues. The quality and perceptivity of the essays is impressive. Not only do they honor Knierim by approximately his careful thinking, but they promise to make a major contribution on their own terms to the continuing conversation. The essays are characteristically text-specific and show disciplines as well as imaginative thinking, a gain for us all. " William Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary--Sanford Lakoff
