Customer Reviews

an excellent, balanced summary of the issue

Goldingay's book gave me a good overview of an issue that I have often struggled with: how should a Christian interpret and apply the old testament?His other books on old testament interpretation, which i have not read yet, apparently go into more depth on the issues, but if you are new to the subject, this would be a good book to have.The extensive bibliography of relevant books also adds significantly to the book's worth, in my opinion.
