Reviews

[William Barrick · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hirsch and Johnson both receive a good deal of attention in this collection of essays compiled as a Festschrift for Elliott Johnson. Some essays cover the influence of Hirsch on Johnson, others cover the influence of Johnson on themselves. All note the tremendous positive impact Johnson has had on many students at Dallas Seminary and the many attendees in the church where Johnson serves. To celebrate him each author purposely celebrates the great gift of Scripture and the joys and challenges of interpreting God's special revelation for His people. The editors chose an appealing selection of hermeneutical topics addressed by a variety of the honoree's former students. Readers will come away from the volume with a bit of the flavor of having sat in one of Prof. Johnson's hermeneutics classes.
