Most of the essays conclude with a call for more thought, more work, more development, and readers cannot fail to see the potential and relevance of the biblical text for contemporary communities of faith." – Isabelle Hamley, King’s College London, UK, in: Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Volume 46, Issue 5, June 2022
