[Rob · Rating 3 out of 5]

Generally unimpressed, as far as these collections go, except that two papers in particular really bumped my rating for the volume. The standouts, and ones really worth seeking out (you can pass on the rest of the volume if nothing catches your eye) are Daniel Peterson's "Reflecting on Gospel Scholarship with Abū al-Walīd and Abū Ḥāmid", and Val Larsen's "In His Footsteps: Ammon₁ and Ammon₂". Both essays brought a new, deeper perspective of their topics to my understanding, and I'll be borrowing their useful framework for my own mental model.
