Review Quotes
"Occasionally, the centerpiece of a book leads to a timely, even pressing question. Such is the care here. Lau and Goswell's thematically framed theological exposition gives rise to the question, 'Is there an important difference between theme-focused literary research and theological analysis of Scripture?' There is, at least to this reviewer, and Unceasing Kindness offers a useful setting for theologians and literary critics to collaborate on ways to study and communicate the life-changing truths in the Bible. Such collaborative efforts can provide yet another way to stimulate and challenge an American culture increasingly distant from the loving authority of divine revelation."
