Rezensionen

'This title belongs in the reference section of all theological libraries' - International Review of Biblical Studies, Germany

'Compiling the results from contemporary and exciting areas of research into one single important volume, this book stands ahead of its field in providing a comprehensive one-stop handbook reference of biblical interpretation. Examining a wide range of articles ... Professor Porter expertly combines the study of biblical interpretation with the examination of the theological and philosophical preconceptions that have influenced it, and surveys the history of interpretation from different perspectives ... With relevant bibliographies and a guide to further reading, The Dictionary will be an extremely important reference held for many years, not only by libraries, but also by students, scholars, clergy and teachers of this fascinating and high-profile subject.' - Review of Biblical Literature

'A well-established biblical scholar himself, Porter has assembled articles by leading figures in biblical studies.' -- Michael Woodward, Theological Librarianship
