Science,the Singular and the Question of Theology Book

I absolutely loved reading Bockmuehl's book, and yet, it is not without it's drawbacks. The content is excellent. The structure makes little sense to me at all.

As I see it, the book has two major aims: critique modern biblical studies, and appeal for a renewed commitment to theological readings. This commitment should mirror the nature of reading the New Testament for its first readers.

All of this is covered phenomenally well in the first 2/3 of the book. 4 stars, maybe 5. However, then in the final 1/3 of the book Bockmuehl enters into a discussion on the Jewish background of Jesus - all good, to be sure, really containing the best exegesis of the entire book - but this section seems almost entirely disconnected from the rest of the book. I have been unable to make sense of exactly how the sections of the book work for a common purpose, or what the title of the book has to do with the arguments contained within.

I loved much of the content, but I'm not sure I'm entirely clear on the purpose of the whole.
