Reviews

[Zachary Horn · Rating 3 out of 5]

In reading a book dedicated (rightly) to the peerless work of Vanhoozer, I found myself routinely thinking “I would rather simply be reading Vanhoozer himself right now.” Some chapters were excellent, but as is the case in such collections from various authors, others were of more middling quality or simply less interest to me.
