Reviews

[S.E.Weigert · Rating 5 out of 5]

Food for the soul to combat commercialism and secularism in these trying times.

A good intro level commentary on the infancy narratives of Luke and Matthew. Binz utilizes the best from contemporary scholarship while remaining squarely within the Catholic interpretive tradition.
