“This is an unusually and refreshingly frank, self-reflective, constructive, and wide-ranging reading of the rich ruler passage in Luke 18, employing sociorhetorical criticism and situating the text’s appropriation in the complex context of Samoa. Even if one does not agree with certain interpretative or hermeneutical arguments employed, this book is worth engaging with.”
