I had the great pleasure of reading an early draft of Tom Hatina's tour de force: New Testament Theology and its Quest for Relevance: Ancient Texts and Modern Readers. Today I was excited to get my copy in the mail. Here is my back-cover blurb:
“This is at once a necessary introduction to religious
studies for students of theology and a nuanced approach to Christian Scripture
for religious studies readers. The
genius of this project is that it (a) takes seriously the demand for religious
pluralism within the secular West and (b) takes seriously the high view of
Scripture demanded by Christians… The author does an admirable job of surveying
a vast topic and providing summaries for various movements within the
discipline.”
