This substantial collection of essays provides a good survey to current Biblical Studies... The arrangement of the articles as well as the focus of the volume raises a number of interesting issues for evangelical readers. Christoph Stenschke, European Journal of Theology ...this volume succeeds not only its breadth, but also in the high quality of its essays, making this handbook the likely standard for many years to come in the area of biblical studies...Rogerson and Lieu have provided an excellent resource for biblical scholars that constitutes the most up-to-date and comprehensive handbook of its kind. Michael J. Kruger The Expository Times ...a must for all biblical students. H. Kraus, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament [readers] will be richly rewarded by the wealth of admirably presented material which it contains. A. E. Harvey, Journal of Theological Studies The present exhaustive volume offers an up-to-date comprehensive survey of Biblical studies at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Christoph Stenschke, Dharma Deepika Awesome is the word that springs to mind after a perusal of The Oxford Handbook of Biblical Studies. THES
