I initially picked up this book for two articles within it. Those two (by Aune & Mare) pertained to the ‘Parousia’, and were predictably erudite yet still completely unimaginative; ergo, I yawned a few times. The two star review is for those two essays, respectively.
I perused a handful of others. The essays by Kaiser, Ladd, and Longnecker were a complete waste of time. Others were just not interesting, such as ‘reflections on evangelism’ or ‘love in the Old Testament.’ The only two essays I found extraordinary were by Robert Kraft (on the brutal honesty of “orthodoxy” and its historical, conceptual development), and Hawthorne’s fresh translation of Melito of Sardis’ paschal homily.
