Review Quotes

"[The authors] set themselves the task of studying how the story of Israel is picked up in various ways in the New Testament, whether directly or allusively. . . . The journey. . . . is surprisingly interesting, and contributes mightily to a fresh understanding of some of the ways in which the biblical documents intertwine so as to flesh out the good news of Jesus the Messiah."
