Review Quotes

Few could have analysed the Coherence Based Genealogical Method (CBGM) with as much clarity, precision and with as Peter Gurry. (...) Gurry's book contributes a number of important critical perspectives ... [it] is important because it reminds us that the results of the CBGM are determined by editorial choice and that textual criticism is not a formula to be solved, but a craft to be plied.
Garrick Allen, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, 2019

A landmark study of the CBGM, no NT scholar can afford to be without this clear, concise, critical, and courteous book.
Peter R. Rodgers, The Catholic Biblical Review, 2019
