Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-26 00:00:00 Tim Morneau Three of the first four essays (Sipiora, Rostagni, and Kinneavy) were really good overviews of the history and meaning of kairos . Once the topics turned to kairos in different periods of history, the essays seemed to have too little reward for the time and effort to read them. Perhaps if I were an expert in rhetoric it would have been different. Dividing the book roughly into thirds, I read the first carefully, skimmed the second, and skipped the third.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-13 00:00:00 Amanda Smith Sipiora and Baumlin need better editors. This book was, for the most part, heavy-handed and navel-gazing. Someone from outside of their circle really needed to be involved to provide a better sense of the project, some objectivity (though that word is troubling). There are chapters I would recommend, but I can't say the same for the book as a whole.
