Daniel

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The authors represent not only the best scholarship of our period but they also have the kind of interpretive energy and creativeness that will influence significantly the whole field of biblical studies and the study of religion in this country and elsewhere.”

Kingdom of God in 20th-Century Interpretation

Theology

“This is a very important topic, and the several contributors render us an invaluable service in brining us up to date on current scholarship and interpretation in their particular assignments. The book is all the more interesting because its agenda is so different from that of some other equally vigorous thrusts today in biblical scholarship.”

Rediscovering Paul

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“It is superb: the recognized validity of the tools used here and there immediate relevance to the text, as well as the illumination they throw, makes this a show-piece application of literary-sociological analysis tot a biblical writing.”

The Silence of Jesus

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this book James Breech helps us get behind and beyond canonized commonplaces in our views of Jesus and his sayings, and opens up his momentous originality. By locating this originality in the everyday world of Jesus' parables, which here receive a searching analysis in terms of contemporary narrative-study, the author uncovers a world-shaper who was above even his first interpreters but whose vision can speak all the more directly to our own secularity and its quest for reality.... The Silence of Jesus represents a contribution both to the study of Christianity and modern culture.”
