Reviews

[Humble · Rating 3 out of 5]

A comprehensive and convincing account of Moses typology in Matthew, and 2nd Temple Judaic traditions of Moses that exalted him beyond what people normally consider.

[Seumas Macdonald · Rating 4 out of 5]

Despite some reservations, Allison succeeded in convincing me of the presence of Mosaic typology in Matthew. He is quite reserved in his conclusions, which bolsters his case.

[Adam Ross · Rating 4 out of 5]

A magisterial and comprehensive overview of the Moses typology in the gospel of Matthew. Really, quite spectacular.
