Review # 1 was written on 2016-07-08 00:00:00 Jodi Elvidge John Collins is the author of the Old Testament textbook used by Education for Ministry. As I read more of what he writes, and note how helpfully he is referenced in my other readings as well, my respect for him grows. His breadth of research and knowledge makes his work a needful resource. This is a collection of essays that addresses current theological issues, very deeply researched, very well-balanced approach. I am completely on board with his essay on critical biblical theology, perhaps one of the clearest treatments I've seen. Once or twice I felt I could not go where he was leading in his discussions on eschatology, but that is often the case in critical reading, which feeds ongoing conversations. I'm not sure that some of these essays, necessarily academic in language, can reach a very general audience, but that was not the aim of his writing here. I am likely to read more of his work as I go.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-08-06 00:00:00 Mariko Gjovig Part of my #RRL (Required Reading Literature) series. I believe that this is one heck of a history book, not because of the information that it has, but because of the unique perspective of the Word made Flesh. All I can say is that it is striking for us to see that the enfleshment of the Word comes primarily not in thought but on what is done and practiced and, interestingly enough, in the marginalized and silent areas of the history of the world.
